During Salaat, while reciting Attahayyat, at which point exactly should one raise and lower their right Index finger?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org
During Salaat, while reciting Attahayyat, at which point exactly should one raise and lower their right Index finger? During Salaat, while reciting Attahayyat, some people circle their right index finger, throughout. Which is the correct position, please state the mandating Hadith? Also, when raising the index finger, a ring is formed with the thumb and the middle finger, should this ring be maintained, even after finishing the Attahayyat? I was told that this was the Sunnah.
When a person is sitting in the prayer and recites “atta hiyyah” then when he reaches the point where he starts to say, ‘I bear witness’ at that point, he should raise his index finger. And the circle formed with the index finger and the thumb should be maintained until the end of the prayer.
