Al-Kāfi|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 20
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما الْسَّلام) قَالَ تَرْفَعُ يَدَيْكَ فِي افْتِتَاحِ الصَّلاَةِ قُبَالَةَ وَجْهِكَ وَلاَ تَرْفَعْهُمَا كُلَّ ذَلِكَ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from Zurarah who has said the following: “One of the two Imam, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘Raise your hands when commencing Salah (prayer) on the sides of your face and do not raise them all the way farther.’”
