The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is raising the finger and pointing with it specific to the tashahhud, or is it general for all sitting, meaning in the tashahhud and the sitting between the two prostrations?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, we did not know anything except that it is in the tashahhud, but people started bringing up statements that I do not know where they get them from, that he raises his head between the two prostrations. We did not know this, nor do we know of it.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, Professor 'Abd.

He mentioned that it is a statement of supplication, yes, it is not a phrase, yes.
