Because of one hadith that says Allah -azwj never returns hands empty and fills them from His -azwj mercy. But some among us say it is not applicable here (Qunoot), because it is a new thing (bidath).
Imam ajfj responded in his message (tauqee) that it is not permissible to bring down hands on the head and the face in obligatory prayers (wajib namaz) instead, upon finishing (qunoot) one should bring his palms down from the front of his chest slowly down till one’s knees and say takbeer and go into bowing (rukuh).
Wasail–u-Shia Vol 6 page 293 Supplications prior to offering Salat [5] محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن علي بن النعمان، عن بعض أصحابه، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال: كان أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) يقول: من قال هذا القول كان مع محمد وآل محمد إذا قام قبل أن يستفتح الصلاة: ” اللهم إني أتوجه إليك بمحمد وآل محمد واقدمهم بين يدي صلاتي وأتقرب بهم إليك فاجعلني بهم وجيها في الدنيا والآخرة ومن المقربين، مننت علي بمعرفتهم فاختم لي بطاعتهم ومعرفتهم وولايتهم، فإنها السعادة واختم لي بها، فإنك على كل شئ قدير Mohammed bin Yahiya narrates from Ahmed bin Mohamad bin Isa, who from Ali bin Alnauman who from some companions of Abi Abdulllah -asws that AMIRUL MOMINEEN -asws said: ‘He who would recite the following prior to standing up for prayers will, on the Day of Judgement, be in the company of Mohammed -saww and Aly-Mohammed -asws : O Allah -azwj !
I stand before You -azwj through intercession of Mohammed -saww and Aly Mohammed -asws . I give them preference over my prayers and seek your closeness through them -asws . For their -asws sake, reward me with respect in this world as well as in the hereafter. Bless me, as your obedient servant, favour me through awarding Ahlul Bait -asws ’s recognition. May my life be finished in their -asws obedience, recognition and Wilait. This would indeed be a significant achievement for me.
You -azwj have all the authority and control, in every respect. (After reciting these prayers), then proceed with your Salat.
