Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْعَلاَءِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَقُومُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَيَرَى اَلْقَمْلَةَ قَالَ« فَلْيَدْفِنْهَا فِي اَلْحَصَى فَإِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَقُولُ« إِذَا رَأَيْتَهَا فَادْفِنْهَا فِي اَلْبَطْحَاءِ»»
From him from Ali ibn Al-Hakam from Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Ala who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who stands in prayer and sees a louse. Imam عليه السلام said: "Let him bury it in the gravel, for (Imam) Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him, used to say: 'If you see it, then bury it in the pebbles.'"
