مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حَفْصٍ اَلْأَعْوَرِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا سَجَدَ يَتَخَوَّى كَمَا يَتَخَوَّى اَلْبَعِيرُ اَلضَّامِرُ يَعْنِي بُرُوكَهُ»
Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from a group, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Fadalah ibn Ayyub, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Hafs al-A‘war:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “When (Imam) Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him, performed prostration, He عليه السلام would collapse as the emaciated camel collapses, meaning the way it kneels down.”
