Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Darraj from Zurarah who has said the following: “One of the two Imam, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘Raise your hands when commencing Salah (prayer) on the sides of your face and do not raise them all the way farther.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (5/97))
