Mishkat al-Masabih #857
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَن أبي هُرَيْرَة قَالَ: إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَدْعُو بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَحِّدْ أَحِّدْ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي الدَّعَوَاتِ الْكَبِير
Abu Huraira told how when a man was making supplication using two of his fingers, God’s Messenger said, “Use one, use one.”
It is transmitted by Tirmidhi and Nasa’i and by Baihaqi in ad-da'awat al kabir.
