The answer

Counting glorifications (tasbih) with the fingers is a verbal and practical of the Prophet, peace be upon him, based on his saying: "Count with your fingertips, for they will be questioned and made to speak," and his saying: "I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, counting glorifications with his hand." Counting glorifications with the fingers is superior if possible, and because the fingers will bear witness for the one who used them to count his glorifications. As for how to use the fingers in counting glorifications, the matter is broad, and no specific detail has been reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him, regarding it.
