سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْمَصْلُوبِ فَقَالَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ جَدِّي ( عليه السلام ) صَلَّى عَلَى عَمِّهِ قُلْتُ أَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ وَ لَكِنِّي لَا أَفْهَمُهُ مُبَيَّناً قَالَ أُبَيِّنُهُ لَكَ إِنْ كَانَ وَجْهُ الْمَصْلُوبِ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَقُمْ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَفَاهُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَقُمْ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ فَإِنَّ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةً وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَنْكِبُهُ الْأَيْسَرُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَقُمْ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَنْكِبُهُ الْأَيْمَنُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَقُمْ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ وَ كَيْفَ كَانَ مُنْحَرِفاً فَلَا تُزَايِلْ مَنَاكِبَهُ وَ لْيَكُنْ وَجْهُكَ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ لَا تَسْتَقْبِلْهُ وَ لَا تَسْتَدْبِرْهُ الْبَتَّةَ قَالَ أَبُو هَاشِمٍ وَ قَدْ فَهِمْتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَهِمْتُهُ وَ اللَّهِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abu Hashim Al Ja’fary who said, ‘I asked Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> about the crucified one. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But, do you know that my<sup>asws</sup> grandfather<sup>asws</sup> prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> upon his<sup>asws</sup> uncle?’ I said, ‘I know that, but I do not understand it clearly’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> shall clarify it for you. If the face of the crucified one was towards the Qiblah, so stand by his right shoulder; and if his back towards the Qiblah, so stand by his left shoulder. So if the Qiblah was between the east and the west, and if his left shoulder was towards the Qiblah, so stand upon his right shoulder, and if his right shoulder was towards the Qiblah, so stand by his left shoulder. And howsoever he was inclined, do not cease to be by his shoulder, and let your face be towards what is between the east and the west, and do not face towards him nor face away from his back’. Abu Hashim (the narrator) said, ‘And I have understood it, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Willing! I understood it, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>!’.
