سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَرْفَعُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ فِي التَّكْبِيرِ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ فِي التَّكْبِيرَةِ الْأُولَى وَ لَا يَرْفَعُونَ فِيمَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأَقْتَصِرُ عَلَى التَّكْبِيرَةِ الْأُولَى كَمَا يَفْعَلُونَ أَوْ أَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ فِي كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ فَقَالَ ارْفَعْ يَدَكَ فِي كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus who said, ‘I asked Al Reza<sup>asws</sup> saying, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! The people are raising their hands during the exclamations of the <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span> upon the deceased during the first <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span> (only) and are not raising their hand in what is after that (the other four <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span>s). So, shall I restrict myself upon the first <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span> just as they are doing, or shall I raise my hands during every <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Raise your hands during every <span class="iTxt">Takbeer</span>’.
