There is a right for Allah -azwj Blessed and Exalted upon this like His -azwj right upon this!’ وَ قَالَ الرَّغْبَةُ تَبْسُطُ يَدَيْكَ وَ تُظْهِرُ بَاطِنَهُمَا وَ الرَّهْبَةُ تَبْسُطُ يَدَيْكَ وَ تُظْهِرُ ظَهْرَهُمَا وَ التَّضَرُّعُ تُحَرِّكُ السَّبَّابَةَ الْيُسْرَى تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ رِسْلًا وَ تَضَعُهَا وَ الِابْتِهَالُ تَبْسُطُ يَدَكَ وَ ذِرَاعَكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ الِابْتِهَالُ حِينَ تَرَى أَسْبَابَ الْبُكَاءِ And he -asws said: ‘The desires is your spreading your hands and revealing their inside; and the fear is your spreading your hands and revealing their back (outside); and the beseeching is your moving the right index finger raising it towards the sky ‘sending it’ and dropping it; and the invoking is spreading your hand and your arms towards the sky, and the beseeching is when you see the causes of weeping’’.
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْهُ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ وَ رَفْعِ الْيَدَيْنِ And in another report, from Abu Baseer, from his -asws , he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him -asws about the supplication and raising the hands.
فَقَالَ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَوْجُهٍ أَمَّا التَّعَوُّذُ فَتَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ بِبَاطِنِ كَفَّيْكَ وَ أَمَّا الدُّعَاءُ فِي الرِّزْقِ فَتَبْسُطُ كَفَّيْكَ وَ تُفْضِي بِبَاطِنِهِمَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ أَمَّا التَّبَتُّلَ فَإِيمَاؤُكَ بِإِصْبَعِكَ السَّبَّابَةِ وَ أَمَّا الِابْتِهَالُ فَرَفْعُ يَدَيْكَ تُجَاوِزُ بِهِمَا رَأْسَكَ وَ دُعَاءُ التَّضَرُّعِ أَنْ تُحَرِّكَ إِصْبَعَكَ السَّبَّابَةَ مِمَّا يَلِي وَجْهَكَ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ الْخِيفَةِ He -asws said: ‘(It is) based upon four aspects.
As for seeking the Refuge, you face the Qiblah with inside of your palms; and as for the supplication regarding the sustenance, your spread your hands and raising their insides towards the sky; and as for the devoting, your gesturing with your index finger; and as for the invoking, raise your hands exceeding your head with them and supplicate; and the beseeching is your moving your index finger from what follows your face, and it is the supplication of fear’’.
