Question
Some scholars claim that moving the finger in the tashahhud is the proven sunnah while others emphatically claim that the finger should be pointed without moving it. I do not know what to do.
Answer
There is a hadîth related through `Abd Allah b. al-Zubayr that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to point by his finger in supplication but did not move it. [Related in Sunan Abî Dâwûd(988,990), Sunan al-Nasâ’î (1270) with this wording, and in Sahîh Muslim (579) without the phrase “but did not move it”, all with the chain of transmission from `Amir b. `Abd Allah from `Abd Allah b. Zubayr from the Prophet (peace be upon him)]
The hadith regarding pointing with the index finger during tashahhud was related by `Asim b. Kulayb b. Shihâb. It was related by al-Bukhârî in al-Adab, al-Tirmidhî, Abu Dâwûd, Ibn Khuzaymah.
There is an addition to this hadith by Zâ’dah b. Qudâmah that says: “I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) moving his index finger upon supplication”. This addition is weak. Moreover, the hadîth itself is not authentically related.
