Chapter___ Raising Index Finger in Tashahhud

Abdullah Ibn ‘Umar  said: “When the Prophet (ﷺ) sat for Tashahhud, he placed his left hand on his left knee and placed his right hand on his right knee, and he formed a ring like, and he pointed with his index finger (to indicate the Oneness of Allah).” [Muslim] saw

Besides, ‘Abdullah Ibn az-Zubayr  narrated: “When the Prophet (ﷺ) sat for “Tashahhud”, he placed his rightsae hand on his right thigh and his left hand on his left thigh, and pointed with his forefinger, and placed his thumb on his (middle) finger, and covered his knee with the palm of his left hand.” [Muslim]

The second narration gives some explanation to the state mentioned in the first narration.

There is another narration from Waa’il Ibn Hujr  that: “He saw the Prophet (ﷺ) when he sat in prayer, that he spread out his left foot and placed his hands on his thighs and pointed with his index finger supplicating in this way.” [An-Nasaa’i and others]
