اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَضَعُ يَدَيْهِ قَبْلَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إِذَا سَجَدَ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُومَ رَفَعَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ قَبْلَ يَدَيْهِ
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad, who said:
I saw Abu Abdillah عليه السلام placing his hands before his knees when He عليه السلام went into prostration (sujud), and when He عليه السلام wanted to rise, He عليه السلام would raise his knees before his hands.”
