Supplicating During Tashah-hud

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was seen making a circle with his thumb and middle finger, and raising the index finger while supplicating during the Tashah-hud.

It was narrated that Wa’il bin Hujr said: "I saw the Prophet making a circle with his thumb and middle finger, and raising the one next to it (the index finger), supplicating with it during the Tashah-hud".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ قَدْ حَلَّقَ الإِبْهَامَ وَالْوُسْطَى وَرَفَعَ الَّتِي تَلِيهِمَا يَدْعُو بِهَا فِي التَّشَهُّدِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Wail bin Hujr speaks of a gesture made by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during prayer. It is said that he would make a circle with his thumb and middle finger, while raising his index finger in supplication. This gesture is known as tashah-hud, which is an Arabic term meaning “testimony” or “bearing witness”. This gesture symbolizes one's faith in Allah and His Oneness, as well as one's commitment to follow His commands. It also serves as an expression of humility before Allah, asking for His mercy and guidance in all matters of life. Through this hadith we learn that prayer should be done with sincerity and humility; it should be done with full concentration on Allah alone so that we can receive His blessings in our lives.
