عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا جَلَسْتَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَلاَ تَجْلِسْ عَلَى يَمِينِكَ وَ اِجْلِسْ عَلَى يَسَارِكَ فَإِذَا سَجَدْتَ فَابْسُطْ كَفَّيْكَ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا رَكَعْتَ فَأَلْقِمْ رُكْبَتَيْكَ كَفَّيْكَ»
Ali, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said: (Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said) “When you sit in prayer, do not sit on your right side, rather, sit on your left side. And when you prostrate, spread your palms on the ground. And when you bow, place your knees into your palms.”
