Pointing with One Finger in Supplication

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas to point with one finger when supplicating.

Narrated Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas: The Prophet passed by me while I was supplicating by pointing with two fingers of mine. He said: Point with one finger; point with one finger. He then himself pointed with the forefinger.
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ وَأَنَا أَدْعُو بِأُصْبُعَىَّ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَحِّدْ أَحِّدْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ
