Question:what is the opinion of Ahlul-Bayt –pbut- about Takattuf in prayer?
Answer: there are many narratives f r o m Ahlul-Bayt, in which it is said that hanging hands by sides is obligatory, and placing hands on one another (Takfir) is innovation. Here we refer to some narrative:
1. mohammad Ibne Muslem has narrated that “I questioned Imam Saadeq or Baaqer –pbuh- that there is someone who place his right hand over the left one, he said “that is Takfir, do not do that”. (1)
2. Zaraarah has narrated that Imam Baqer –pbuh- said “have presence of heart while performing prayer and do not put your hands on one another, because the people of Zardtosht do that”. (2)
3. Sadduq has narrated (whose document is f r o m himself) f r o m Imam Ali –pbuh- that “have presence of heart, while performing prayer and do not put your hands on one another, because the people of Zardtosht do that”. (3)
4. Sadduq has narrated (whose document is f r o m himself) f r o m Imam Ali –pbuh- that “the Muslims mustn’t put their hands on one another, while performing prayer for the Exalted God, since that makes them similar to the disbelievers (Majus)”. (4)
5. The narrative of Qaazi Abu Hunaifa
Qaazi Abu Hunaifa Na’maan Tamimi Mesri Maqrebi has narrated f r o m Imam Saadeq –pbuh- that he said “while performing prayer do not place your right hand over the left one or vice versa, the people of The Book do that. Place your hands on your thighs. Because this is better and will not distract your mind f r o m the prayer”. (5) (6)
