As salaam alaikum,

Is there any among the 'Ulama here who can produce a single piece of evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah which proves that one should raise his finger upon reciting 'an Laailaaha' and then lowering it upon 'illallah'.

All hadith seem to just prove that the finger was raised throughout the whole of the tashahhud, from the very beginning upon reciting 'Attahiyyaatu' until the Salaam.

I am a Hanafi and I have always wondered where is the proof for such, or isn't there any?
