(From the evidence of the Highness of Allah: The indication of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with his finger to the sky during Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said:
"And Allah is the Greatest, the One to whom His Messenger *** truly pointed with a finger and a fingertip"
This is also among the evidence that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed to Allah with the finger and the fingertip. They say there are ten languages in the finger, and nine languages in the fingertip, and these languages were fixed in one verse, meaning nineteen languages in one verse. The compiler said in it:
"And the hamzah of the fingertip is a third, and its third *** the nine are in the finger, and conclude with a finger" And we have in the language of cars, "isba' haqq al-battariyyah" (a finger for the battery), yes, but it appears it is not a language, yes. So these are ten languages in the finger, and nine languages in the fingertip. I repeat the verse the second and third time so that you memorize it.
"And the hamzah of the fingertip is a third, and its third *** the nine are in the finger, and conclude with a finger"
Are you ready? Let us say it the third time.
"And the hamzah of the fingertip is a third, and its third *** the nine are in the finger, and conclude with a finger"
The student: Hamzah, and hamzah.

The Shaykh : Hamzah, hamzah.
The student: And the hamzah of the fingertip is a third, and its third, the nine are in the finger.

The Shaykh : The nine.
The student: The nine are in the finger, and conclude with a finger.

The Shaykh : With a finger, perfect.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Huh? Okay.
"And the hamzah of the fingertip is a third, and its third *** the nine are in the finger, and conclude with a finger"
Hamzah of the fingertip is a third, and what does "third" mean? By the three vowel movements: fath, kasr, and damm. The third of the fingertip is the letter mīm, which also has the three vowel movements. Three times three is how much? Nine. The nine are in the finger, and concluding with a finger makes it ten: isba' (finger), isbi' (finger), isbu' (finger), and usba' (finger), and so on. A person does not make a mistake; however you read it, you do not err. Okay, he says:
"And Allah is the Greatest, the One to whom His Messenger *** truly pointed with a finger and a fingertip
In the great gathering of Hajj at a station *** below the known one, the station of forgiveness"

This is when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) descended to the Valley of Masha'r, he addressed the people in the Valley of Masha'r. The Valley of Masha'r is not the known one; the known one is 'Arafah, but it is near it. For this reason, he said:
"At a station *** below the known one"
And his saying: "the station of forgiveness" is a description of the known one ('Arafah), not of the station where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered the sermon.
The important thing is that he descended there and delivered a great and eloquent sermon, and he said to the people:
Have I not conveyed it? ألا هل بلغت؟
They said: Yes. He said:
O Allah, be witness اللهم اشهد
He raised his finger to the sky and pointed it to the people, meaning: O Allah, be a witness against them. He said it three times, (peace and blessings be upon him). He says:
"In the great gathering of Hajj at a station *** below the known one, the station of forgiveness"
