قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا قُمْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْإِقْبَالِ عَلَى صَلَاتِكَ فَإِنَّمَا يُحْسَبُ لَكَ مِنْهَا مَا أَقْبَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا تَعْبَثْ فِيهَا بِيَدِكَ وَ لَا بِرَأْسِكَ وَ لَا بِلِحْيَتِكَ وَ لَا تُحَدِّثْ نَفْسَكَ وَ لَا تَتَثَاءَبْ وَ لَا تَتَمَطَّ وَ لَا تُكَفِّرْ فَإِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ الْمَجُوسُ وَ لَا تَلَثَّمْ وَ لَا تَحْتَفِزْ وَ لَا تَفَرَّجْ كَمَا يَتَفَرَّجُ الْبَعِيرُ وَ لَا تُقْعِ عَلَى قَدَمَيْكَ وَ لَا تَفْتَرِشْ ذِرَاعَيْكَ وَ لَا تُفَرْقِعْ أَصَابِعَكَ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ نُقْصَانٌ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ لَا تَقُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ مُتَكَاسِلًا وَ لَا مُتَنَاعِساً وَ لَا مُتَثَاقِلًا فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ خِلَالِ النِّفَاقِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ نَهَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْ يَقُومُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ هُمْ سُكَارَى يَعْنِي سُكْرَ النَّوْمِ وَ قَالَ لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ إِذا قامُوا إِلَى الصَّلاةِ قامُوا كُسالى يُراؤُنَ النَّاسَ وَ لا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Sh<span class="iTxt">Azān</span>, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When you stand regarding the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, so upon you is to be with the devotion upon your <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, for it would be Reckoned for you from it, whatever you were devoted upon; and neither play around with your hands during it, nor with your head, nor with your beard, nor speak to yourself, nor yawn, nor stretch, nor fold hands, for rather it is the Magians who do that. And do not disguise yourself, nor keep feet wide apart like the camels, nor fall upon your feet, nor stretchout your arms, nor crack your fingers, for all of that is detrimental to the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. And neither stand to the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> sluggishly, nor in a slumber, nor heavy, for these are from the traits of the hypocrisy. Thus, Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, Glorious is He<sup>azwj</sup>, Forbade the Believers that they should be standing to the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> and they are intoxicated – Meaning the intoxication of the sleep, and Said for the hypocrites <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h142"><a href="/books/quran:4#h142">[4:142]</a></a> and when they stand up for the Prayer they stand up sluggishly; they do it only to be seen of men and (they – the hypocrites) do not remember Allah except for a little</span>’.
