Did a narration stating: "he moves it vigorously" come down regarding the issue of moving the finger in the tashahhud?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: In a second narration: "he moves it vigorously"?
The Shaykh: There is no narration at all, neither with vigor nor without vigor; such a narration does not exist. There is nothing except what you heard just now: "I saw him moving it, supplicating with it." However, I mentioned in a marginal note or in the commentary on "The Description of Prayer" a report from Imam Ahmad: "he raises it vigorously." This is the statement of Imam Ahmad, not a hadith. Pay attention, my brother, the questioner; you missed the answer. So we say that this is an athar from Imam Ahmad that he raises it vigorously, and it is not a hadith traced back to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
