As Salaamu Alaikoum,
Praise be to Allah.
I do not know this word sexhda you mentioned but if you are referring to when sitting and reciting the Tashahud how do we raise the finger.. there are 3 ways that one can do and all ways were done by the Prophet(saw):
One should sit for the tashahud and place his hands in the
following manner:
Ibn 'Umar reported that when the Prophet sat for the tashahud, he would place his left hand on his left knee and his right hand upon his right knee, and he would form a ring like (fifty-three) and point with his index finger.
In another narration it is reported, "He would close his hand and point with his index finger." (Related by Muslim.)
Wa'il ibn Hajr reported that the Prophet would place his
left palm on his left thigh and knee. He would place the
end of his right elbow upon his right thigh and would then
close his right hand, forming a circle. In another narration it states, "He would make a circle with his middle finger and thumb and point with his index finger. Then he would raise his finger, and (Wa'il) saw him moving it to make supplications." (Related by Ahmad.)
Reported az-Zubair, "When the Prophet sat for tashahud, he would place his right hand on his right thigh and his hand on his left thigh. He would point with his middle finger, and would not look beyond his pointing." (Related by Ahmad, Muslim and anNasa'i.) This hadith shows that one is to place the right hand on the right thigh without closing the hand (making a fist), and that he is not to look beyond his pointing.
CONCLUSION: When reciting Tashahud one can either point the finger and hold it, one can point the finger and raise it up and down, or one can point the finger and move it in a cirlce. Either way is from the sunnah for the Prophet(saw) did all three...
AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
