Gesturing in Sermons

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gesturing with his hands and forefinger while delivering a sermon.

Umara b. Ruwaiba said he saw Bishr b. Marwan on the pulpit raising his hands and said: Allah, disfigure these hands! I have seen Allah's Messenger gesture no more than this with his hands, and he pointed with his forefinger.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، بْنِ رُؤَيْبَةَ قَالَ رَأَى بِشْرَ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ رَافِعًا يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ قَبَّحَ اللَّهُ هَاتَيْنِ الْيَدَيْنِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى أَنْ يَقُولَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا ‏.‏ وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ الْمُسَبِّحَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's gesture while delivering a sermon. It was narrated by Umara b. Ruwaiba that he saw Bishr b. Marwan on the pulpit raising his hands and saying "Allah, disfigure these hands! I have seen Allah's Messenger gesture no more than this with his hands, and he pointed with his forefinger." This hadith shows us that when delivering sermons, it is important to be mindful of our gestures as they can convey powerful messages to those listening to us. The Prophet Muhammad used simple gestures such as raising his hand or pointing with his finger to emphasize certain points in order to make them more memorable for those listening to him. This teaches us that we should use simple yet effective gestures when speaking in public so that our message can be conveyed clearly and effectively without any distractions or confusion from unnecessary movements or words.
