I said to myself, "Let me observe how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prays." So I watched him, and he described it, saying, "Then he sat and spread out his left leg, placed his left palm on his left thigh and knee, and rested the edge of his right elbow on his right thigh. Then he folded two of his fingers and formed a circle, then he raised his finger, and I saw him moving it as he supplicated with it." Abridged.
