Chapter on the Prayer over the Dead
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 21
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ اَلنَّاسَ يَرْفَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي اَلتَّكْبِيرِ عَلَى اَلْمَيِّتِ فِي اَلتَّكْبِيرَةِ اَلْأُولَى وَ لاَ يَرْفَعُونَ فِيمَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأَقْتَصِرُ عَلَى اَلتَّكْبِيرَةِ اَلْأُولَى كَمَا يَفْعَلُونَ أَوْ أَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ فِي كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ فَقَالَ« اِرْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ فِي كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ»
Muhammad ibn Yaqub narrated from a number of our companions from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Isa from Yunus. He said:
I asked Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “May I be your ransom, the people raise their hands in the takbir over the deceased (Salat Al Mayyit) in the first takbir and do not raise them after that. So should I limit myself to (raising hands in) the first takbir as they do, or should I raise my hands in every takbir?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Raise your hands in every takbir.”
