Muwatta Malik #197
Prayer
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muslim ibn Abi Maryam that
AIi ibn Abd ar-Rahman al-Muawi said, "Abdullah ibn Umar saw me playing
with some small pebbles in the prayer. When I finished he forbade me,
saying, 'Do as the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, did.' I said, 'What did the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, do?' He said, 'When he sat in the
prayer, he placed his right hand on his right thigh and he closed his
fist and pointed his index finger, and he placed his left hand on his
left thigh. That is what he used to do.' "
