Topic: Making dhikr on the fingertips

  As Salaamu alaikum wa Rahmatullah

I have been told as well as read about making dhikr using the fingertips and NOT the joints of the fingers when making tasbeeh. This reference has been given:

It was said in Haashiyat al-Tahtaawi: ıIt is correct that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to count the tasbeeh on his right hand. It was reported that he said: ıCount with your finger tips, for they will be asked and they will be made to speak.ı Ibn Hijr said: Counting the tasbeeh with the fingertips is better than using the subhah (prayer-beads or ırosaryı).

Can any of the tulaabul 'ilm or the shuyookh shed some light on the truth or falsehood of this matter with the proof?

SayingsoftheSalaf

Abu Al-ııliyah reports that a man once asked ıUbay b. Kaıb ı Allah be pleased with him ı for advice. He said:

Take the Book of Allah as your leader (imım) and be pleased with it as a judge and ruler. It is what your Messenger left
