وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا نَهَضَ مِنَ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأُولَيَيْنِ قَالَ« بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ أَقُومُ وَ أَقْعُدُ»»
And from him, from Fadalah, from Rifa‘ah ibn Musa, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام say: “When (Imam) Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him, would rise from the first two rak‘ahs, He عليه السلام would say: ‘Bi-hawli Allahi aqumu wa aq‘udu’ (By the power and strength of Allah سبحانه وتعالى I rise and I sit.)”
