Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُرِيدُ اَلْحَاجَةَ وَ هُوَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ« يُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ وَ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا أَرَادَتِ اَلْحَاجَةَ وَ هِيَ تُصَلِّي تُصَفِّقُ بِيَدِهَا» قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَثَأَّبُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ يَتَمَطَّى قَالَ« هُوَ مِنَ اَلشَّيْطَانِ وَ لَنْ يَمْلِكَهُ»
Ali from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hammad from Al-Halabi from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about a man who needs something while he is in prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should gesture with his head and signal with his hand. And a woman, if she needs something while she is praying, should clap with her hands." He (al Halabi) said: “And I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who yawns and stretches during the prayer”. Imam عليه السلام said: "It is from Shaytan, and he will not be able to control it."
