He ( Salla Allahu alaythi wa sallam) would spread his left palm on his left knee, clench all the fingers of his right hand, point with the finger adjacent to the thumb towards the qiblah and fix his sight on it (i.e.the finger).
Also , when he point with his finger, he would put his thumb on his middle finger and sometimes he would make a circle with these two.
When he raised his finger, he would move it supplicating with it and he use to say:
"It is surely more powerful against the devil than iron, meaning the forefinger." (185)
Footnote 185: Muslim, Abu 'Awanaah and Ibn Khuzaimah. Humaida (13/1) and Abu Ya'laa ( 275/2) added with a Saheeh sanad on the authority of Ibn 'Umar: and this is the shooting of the debil; no-one will forget when he does this. And Humaidi raised his finger. Humaidi also said that Muslim bin Abi Maryam said: " A man related to me that in a church in Syria, he saw imagens of Prophets depicted like this" and Humaidi raised his finger. This is an extremely strange remark, but is sanad up to " the man" is saheeh.
