3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Khalid and al-Husayn ibn Sa’Id all from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabi from abu Khalid from Marwan Bayya’al-Lu’lu from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) who has said the following
“Once al-Raghbah (fondness) was mentioned before Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) and he raised his hands to the sky with his palms upward. He then turned the back of his hands upward to the sky and said, “This way is al-Rahbah (expressing anxiety). He moved his fingers right and left and said that such is al-Tadarru’ . He then raised his fingers and then lower them saying that such is al-Tabattul. He then stretched his hands in front of his face toward the Ka’bah saying that such is al-‘Ibtihal only when tears flow.’”
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَالْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ مَرْوَكٍ بَيَّاعِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
ذَكَرَ الرَّغْبَةَ وَأَبْرَزَ بَاطِنَ رَاحَتَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهَكَذَا الرَّهْبَةُ وَجَعَلَ ظَهْرَ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهَكَذَا التَّضَرُّعُ وَحَرَّكَ أَصَابِعَهُ يَمِيناً وَشِمَالاً وَهَكَذَا التَّبَتُّلُ وَيَرْفَعُ أَصَابِعَهُ مَرَّةً وَيَضَعُهَا مَرَّةً وَهَكَذَا الإبْتِهَالُ وَمَدَّ يَدَهُ تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَلا يَبْتَهِلُ حَتَّى تَجْرِيَ الدَّمْعَةُ.
