وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنِ اِبْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى« فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَ اِنْحَرْ» قَالَ «هُوَ رَفْعُ يَدَيْكَ حِذَاءَ وَجْهِكَ»
And from him, from al-Nadr from Ibn Sinan: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام (was asked) regarding the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted: ‘So pray to your Lord and sacrifice”’ (Surah Kawthar 108:2). Imam عليه السلام said: “It is the raising of your hands in front of your face.”
