Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 21
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثٍ مُرْسَلاً وَ رَوَاهُ سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَنَّهُ كَانَ لاَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَهُ فِي اَلْجِنَازَةِ إِلاَّ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً يَعْنِي فِي اَلتَّكْبِيرِ»
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya from Ghayath in a mursal form, and it was also narrated by Sa’ad from Abu Ja’far from his father from Abdillah ibn al-Mughirah from Ghayath ibn Ibrahim from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام from Imam Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “That Imam Ali عليه السلام would not raise his hands in the funeral prayer, except once - meaning with the (first) takbir.”
