Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 12
وَعَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَخَافُ مِنْ سَبُعٍ أَوْ لِصٍّ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي قَالَ« يُكَبِّرُ وَ يُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ»
And from him, from Fadalah, from Aban, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Abdillah. He said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who fears a wild beast or a thief, how should he pray? Imam عليه السلام said: “He should say the takbir and gesture with his head.”
