It's rude to point :)

"...If for some reason he [sallallahu 3alayhi wa wasallam] made a gesture or pointed at something, he did it with a full hand..."

"... The ulama say the reason being is that it is against humbleness to point with one finger only. Some ulama say it was his noble habit to signal the oneness of Allah with one finger, therefore he did not signal anyone in that manner..."
