اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ حَكَى اَلْيُمْنَى عَلَى اَلْيُسْرَى فَقَالَ« ذَلِكَ اَلتَّكْفِيرُ فَلاَ تَفْعَلْ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Safwan, from Fadalah, from al-‘Ala’, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the two (Imams) (peace be upon them), who said:
I asked (Imam عليه السلام): “A man places his hand in prayer, (and he demonstrated) the right over the left?. Imam عليه السلام said: "That is takfeer (a gesture used by others), so do not do it."
