Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Explanation of the Fifty-One Rak‘ahs; The Order, Recitation, Tasbih in Bowing and Prostration, Qunut, and What is Obligatory and Recommended Therein
فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ رَحِيمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَرَاكَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَرَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ اَلسُّجُودِ فِي اَلرَّكْعَةِ اَلْأُولَى وَاَلثَّالِثَةِ تَسْتَوِي جَالِساً ثُمَّ تَقُومُ فَنَصْنَعُ كَمَا تَصْنَعُ قَالَ« لاَ تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَا أَصْنَعُ أَنَا اِصْنَعُوا مَا تُؤْمَرُونَ»
As for what was narrated by Ali ibn al-Hakam from Rahim, who said:
I said to Abu al-Hasan al-Ridha عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “May I be your ransom, I see you, when you pray and raise your head from prostration in the first and third rak‘ah, you sit upright before standing. So should we do as you do?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Do not look at what I do, do what you have been commanded to do.”
