Which view is correct and supported by Hadith: lift finger continuously or only at Ashhadu?

While sitting in tashddud some scholars say we have to lift index finger continiously and some say’s only when we reach ASHHADU LAILAHAILLALAH , what is correct and which is supporting hadit for these two views?

Answer:

(Fatwa: 831/831=M/1430)

The second way is preferable i.e. raise the fingers at la ilaha and put it down on illallah, it is supported by Hadith and traditions:

وفي المحيط أنها سنة يرفعها عند النفي ويضعها عند الإثبات وهو قول أبي حنيفة ومحمد وكثرت به الآثار والأخبار فالعمل به أولى ا ه فهو صريح في أن المفتى به هو الإشارة بالمسبحة مع عقد الأصابع على الكيفية المذكورة لا مع بسطها (شامي 2:217)

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
