ANSWER:

Such a story is baseless and not authentic. 

When I learnt about moving the finger in Tashshahud, I started doing so diligently. Recently I heard, that once Rasul Allah ﷺ was praying and a jinn came to him, so he started moving his finger to drive him away…. So that was just one incident. Hence we shouldn’t move our finger! So which one is true now?

Prayer |
