Pointing with Finger During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to point with his finger while sitting in the second or fourth rak'ah of prayer.

'Amr bin 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair narrated that: His father said: "When the Messenger of Allah sat in the second or fourth rak'ah, he would place his hands on his knees and point with his finger".
أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى السِّجْزِيُّ، - يُعْرَفُ بِخَيَّاطِ السُّنَّةِ نَزَلَ بِدِمَشْقَ أَحَدُ الثِّقَاتِ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَخْرَمَةُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَامِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الثِّنْتَيْنِ أَوْ فِي الأَرْبَعِ يَضَعُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's practice of pointing with his finger during prayer. It is narrated by 'Amr bin 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, who said that his father told him that when the Prophet sat in either the second or fourth rak'ah of prayer, he would place his hands on his knees and point with one finger. This action was done as a sign of humility and submission to Allah, as well as a reminder to focus on one's prayers and not be distracted by worldly matters. The lesson here for children is that they should always remember to stay focused on their prayers and not be distracted by anything else while praying.
