Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ إِذَا رَكَعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ أَ يَبْدَأُ فَيَضَعُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ أَمْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ قَالَ« لاَ يَضُرُّهُ بِأَيِّ ذَلِكَ بَدَأَ هُوَ مَقْبُولٌ مِنْهُ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id from Fadalah from Aban ibn Uthman from Abdurrahman ibn Abi Abdillah from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said:
I asked Him عليه السلام about a man, when he bows and then raises his head, should he first place his hands on the ground or his knees? Imam عليه السلام said: "It does not harm him whichever of them he begins with; it is accepted from him."
