Peace be upon thee, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings; and peace be on us and on all righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. It should be noted that while reciting Tashahhud , when the worshipper reaches the phrase Ashhadu all a il a ha illall a hu , he should raise the forefinger of his right hand and should drop it down as he has recited it. It is written in the Books of Traditions that the Holy Prophet sa used to close the fingers of his right hand leaving the thumb and the forefinger free,
