Question

It is customary in our area to kiss the index finger and turn one's eyes while saying 'Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar Rasoolullah' in the Azan-Iqamah. Hazrat Abu Bakr. Or he used to do this and describe that the intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would be obligatory for the person who does it. I want to know whether this hadith is saheeh or not? 8299818958

The period in question and the description related to it are mainly in Musnad Dailami. Eminent hadith scholars have said that the narration is baseless and false. Hafeez Sakhavi Rah. That said, it’s not proven. (Almaqasidul Hasanah 450-459) Allama Jalaluddin Suyuti Rah. He said that in the martyrdom of the muezzin, the traditions of kissing the fingers of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) after hearing his name and turning his eyes to him are all fabricated. (Taisirul Makal Hadith: 123; Rahe Sunnat 243) Allama Lakhanvi Rah. He said: The truth is that there is no saheeh hadeeth or any asr or deed of the Sahaabah about kissing the finger (and turning it over) as soon as one hears the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in iqaamah or anywhere else. Anyone who claims that is a liar. And this is the worst innovation. Which has no basis in the books of the law. (Assiiah 2/47) 8746657938
