Do we increase the movement of the finger in the tashahhud in order to gain a great reward?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A question may arise here, O Shaykh, regarding the point of movement. If we say that the movement is quick, as is argued from the hadith: "For every movement, ten good deeds," in moving the finger, for example?
The Shaykh : I did not understand the question.
The questioner : In the hadith, meaning...
The Shaykh : I understood the hadith, but I did not understand the question.
The questioner : I mean, now the movement in the prayer, any movement, whether we raise our hands or lower them, or raise anything of these, we have ten good deeds, if Allah wills... (Glorified and Exalted is He). But is this movement of the hands added to it? If we add this movement, and do we increase the movement or do it intensely?
The Shaykh : Okay; increasing the movement now, is there a limit to increasing the movement?
The questioner : Every one is ten good deeds.
The Shaykh : I ask: Is there a limit?
The questioner : There is no limit.
The Shaykh : We say: Every movement is one good deed or ten good deeds, but there is no limit! We only draw attention, by ijtihad and not by explicit text, that the movement should not be such that it contradicts his saying:, but that is all.

Be calm in your prayer.
