Chapter 44 – What is Acceptable from the Salāt of an omitter

1. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : إِنَّ عَمَّاراً السَّابَاطِيَّ رَوى عَنْكَ رِوَايَةً؟ قَالَ: « وَمَا هِيَ؟ ». قُلْتُ: رَوى أَنَّ السُّنَّةَ فَرِيضَةٌ فَقَالَ: « أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُ؟! أَيْنَ يَذْهَبُ ؟! لَيْسَ هكَذَا حَدَّثْتُهُ، إِنَّمَا قُلْتُ لَهُ: مَنْ صَلّى، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلى صَلَاتِهِ لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ نَفْسَهُ فِيهَا، أَوْ لَمْ يَسْهُ فِيهَا، أَقْبَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ مَا أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا، فَرُبَّمَا رُفِعَ نِصْفُهَا، أَوْ رُبُعُهَا، أَوْ ثُلُثُهَا، أَوْ خُمُسُهَا، وَإِنَّمَا أُمِرْنَا بِالسُّنَّةِ لِيَكْمُلَ بِهَا مَا ذَهَبَ مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘AmmarAl-Sabaty reported from youasws a report’. Heasws said: ‘And what is it?’ I said, ‘He reported that the Sunnah is a necessity’. So heasws said: ‘Where is he going? Where is he going? It is not like this. Iasws narrated to him, rather Iasws said to him: ‘The one who prays and is devoted upon hisSalāt, not discussing with himself therein, or does not omit (anything) therein, Allahazwj would Devote upon him what he devoted upon it. So, sometimes a half of it is Raised, or a quarter of it, or a third of it, or a fifth of it, and rather weasws are ordering with the Sunnah for it (the SunnahSalāt) to (make it) perfect by it what had gone (deficient) from the Obligatory (Salāt) ’.1

2. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيُرْفَعُ لَهُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ نِصْفُهَا، أَوْ ثُلُثُهَا، أَوْ رُبُعُهَا، أَوْ خُمُسُهَا، فَمَا يُرْفَعُ‌ لَهُ إِلاَّ مَا أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ بِقَلْبِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا أُمِرْنَا بِالنَّافِلَةِ لِيَتِمَّ لَهُمْ بِهَا مَا نَقَصُوا مِنَ الْفَرِيضَةِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The servant, there is Raised for him from hisSalāt, a half of it, or a third of it, or a quarter of it, of a fifth of it. So it is not Raised for him except for what he is devoted upon it with his heart, and rather, weasws are ordering with the optional (Salāt) in order to complete for them by it, whatever was deficient from the Obligatory (Salāt) ’.2

3. وَعَنْهُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، إِنِّي كَثِيرُ السَّهْوِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ فَقَالَ: « وَهَلْ يَسْلَمُ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ؟ » فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَظُنُّ أَحَداً أَكْثَرَ سَهْواً مِنِّي. فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ، إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ يُرْفَعُ لَهُ ثُلُثُ صَلَاتِهِ وَنِصْفُهَا وَثَلَاثَةُ أَرْبَاعِهَا وَأَقَلُّ وَأَكْثَرُ عَلى قَدْرِ سَهْوِهِ فِيهَا، لكِنَّهُ يَتِمُّ لَهُ مِنَ النَّوَافِلِ ». قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ: مَا أَرَى النَّوَافِلَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تُتْرَكَ عَلى حَالٍ. فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « أَجَلْ، لَا ».

And frm him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘A man said to Abu Abdullahasws , and I heard, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! I frequently make mistakes in theSalāt’ . So heasws said: ‘And has there anyone ever been safe from it?’ So he said, ‘I don’t think anyone would have more mistakes than me’. So Abu Abdullahasws said to him: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The servant, there is Raised for him a third of hisSalāt, and a half of it, and three-quarters of it, and less, and more, upon a measurement of his omission therein, but it is completed for him (when he offers) the optional (Salāt) ’. So Abu Baseer said to himasws , ‘I do not see that the optional (Salāt) should be left upon any state’. So heasws said: ‘Yes, it should not’.3

4. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليهما‌السلام أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا: « إِنَّمَا لَكَ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ مَا أَقْبَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهَا، فَإِنْ أَوْهَمَهَا كُلَّهَا، أَوْ غَفَلَ عَنْ أَدَائِهَا، لُفَّتْ، فَضُرِبَ بِهَا وَجْهُ صَاحِبِهَا ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Al Fazeyl Bin Yasaar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws and Abu Abdullahasws , both having said: ‘But rather, for you, from yourSalāt is what you a devoted upon it, from it. So if all of it is (full of) imagination, or oblivion from its execution, it is diverted and its performer is struck with it upon his face’.4

5. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، قَالَ: فِي كِتَابِ حَرِيزٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنِّي نَسِيتُ أَنِّي فِي صَلَاةٍ فَرِيضَةٍ حَتّى رَكَعْتُ وَأَنَا أَنْوِيهَا تَطَوُّعاً؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: « هِيَ الَّتِي قُمْتَ فِيهَا: إِنْ كُنْتَ قُمْتَ وَأَنْتَ تَنْوِي فَرِيضَةً، ثُمَّ دَخَلَكَ الشَّكُّ، فَأَنْتَ فِي الْفَرِيضَةِ: وَإِنْ كُنْتَ دَخَلْتَ فِي نَافِلَةٍ، فَنَوَيْتَهَا فَرِيضَةً، فَأَنْتَ فِي النَّافِلَةِ: وَإِنْ كُنْتَ دَخَلْتَ فِي فَرِيضَةٍ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتَ نَافِلَةً كَانَتْ عَلَيْكَ، فَامْضِ فِي الْفَرِيضَةِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira who said,

‘In the book of Hareyz (a narrator), he said: ‘I forgot I was in an ObligatorySalāt until I performedRukū, and I had intended it as a voluntary (Salāt) . So heasws said: ‘It is that which you had stood for (with the intention). If you had stood and intended an Obligatory (Salāt) , then the doubt entered, so you would be in the Obligatory (Salāt) , but if you had entered into an optional (Salāt) , so you intended it (afterwards) as an Obligatory (Salāt) , so you would (still) being offering the optional (Salāt) ; and if you had entered into an Obligatory (Salāt) , then remembered an optional (Salāt) which was (due) upon you, so continue in the Obligatory (Salāt) ’. 5

13. الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِيَ عليه‌السلام يَتْفُلُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ الْيَمَانِيِّ وَالْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدِ، وَلَمْ يَدْفِنْهُ.

14. الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ الصَّلَاةَ فِي مَسَاجِدِهِمْ. فَقَالَ: « لَا تَكْرَهْ، فَمَا مِنْ مَسْجِدٍ بُنِيَ إِلاَّ عَلى قَبْرِ نَبِيٍّ أَوْ وَصِيِّ نَبِيٍّ‌ قُتِلَ، فَأَصَابَ تِلْكَ الْبُقْعَةَ رَشَّةٌ مِنْ دَمِهِ، فَأَحَبَّ اللهُ أَنْ يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا: فَأَدِّ فِيهَا الْفَرِيضَةَ وَالنَّوَافِلَ، وَاقْضِ فِيهَا مَا فَاتَكَ ».

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, raising it from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘I dislike prayingSalāt in theirMasjids (of the general Muslims)’. So heasws said: ‘Do not dislike it, for there is none from aMasjid, except that it is built upon a grave of a Prophetsaww or a successoras of a Prophetas . Heas was murdered, so that spot was hit by a sprinkle of hisas blood, therefore Allahazwj Loves it that Heazwj be Mentioned in it. So perform therein the Obligatory and the optional (Salāts ), and payback therein what you missed out on (outstandingSalāts )’.39

15. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : قَوْلُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ:( لا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكارى ) ؟ فَقَالَ: « سُكْرُ النَّوْمِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar, from Abu Asama Zayd Al Shahaam who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘(What about) the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [4:43] O you who believe! Do not go near the Prayer when you are Intoxicated?’ So heasws said: ‘The sleep’.40

16. جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « لَيْسَ يُرَخَّصُ فِي النَّوْمِ فِي شَيْ‌ءٍ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ ».

A group of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Ibn Sinan, from Umar Bin Yazeed,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘There is no allowance regarding the sleep in anything from theSalāt’ . 41

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘What the people are reporting is that theSalāt in a Jam’at is superior to theSalāt of the man praying alone, by twenty fiveSalāts ’. So heasws said: ‘They are speaking the truth’. So I said, ‘Can the two men happen to be (classified as) a Jam’at?’ So heasws said: ‘Yes, and the man would be standing upon the right of the Imam’.42

2. جَمَاعَةٌ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام يَقُولُ: « إِنَّ الْجُهَنِيَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أَكُونُ فِي الْبَادِيَةِ، وَمَعِي أَهْلِي وَوُلْدِي وَغِلْمَتِي، فَأُؤَذِّنُ، وَأُقِيمُ وَأُصَلِّي بِهِمْ، أَفَجَمَاعَةٌ نَحْنُ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الْغِلْمَةَ يَتْبَعُونَ قَطْرَ السَّحَابِ، وَأَبْقى أَنَا وَأَهْلِي وَوُلْدِي، فَأُؤَذِّنُ، وَأُقِيمُ وَأُصَلِّي بِهِمْ، أَفَجَمَاعَة نَحْنُ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَإِنَّ وُلْدِي يَتَفَرَّقُونَ فِي الْمَاشِيَةِ، وَأَبْقى أَنَا وَأَهْلِي، فَأُؤَذِّنُ وَأُقِيمُ وَأُصَلِّي بِهِمْ، أَفَجَمَاعَةٌ نَحْنُ ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تَذْهَبُ فِي مَصْلَحَتِهَا، فَأَبْقى أَنَا وَحْدِي، فَأُؤَذِّنُ وَأُقِيمُ فَأُصَلِّي، أَفَجَمَاعَةٌ أَنَا؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، الْمُؤْمِنُ وَحْدَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ ».

A group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Yusuf, from his father who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘Al-Juhanny came ov er to the Prophetsaww and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww ! I happen to be in the valleys, and with me is my wife and my children and my slaves. So I recite theAzan and an Iqamah and I praySalāt with them. So are we a Jam’at?’ So hesaww said: ‘Yes’. So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww ! The slaves follow the drops of the clouds and there remains myself and my wife and my children. So I reciteAzan and an Iqamah and I praySalāt with them. So am I in a Jam’at?’ So hesaww said: ‘Yes’. So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww ! The wife goes regarding her convenience, so there remains myself alone. So I recite anAzan and an Iqamah, so I praySalāt. Am I a Jam’at?’ So hesaww said: ‘Yes. The Believer alone is a Jam’at’.43

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The one who prays the five (Salāts ) in a Jam’at, so think good about him’.44

4. جَمَاعَةٌ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « أَمَا يَسْتَحِي الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ الْجَارِيَةُ، فَيَبِيعَهَا، فَتَقُولَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْضُرُ الصَّلَاةَ ».

A group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Would not the man from you be embarrassed if there happens to be a slave girl for him, and he sells her, so she could be saying, ‘He did not happen to be present for theSalāt’ ?’45

5. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِساً عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ جَارُ مَسْجِدٍ لِقَوْمِي، فَإِذَا أَنَا لَمْ أُصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَقَعُوا فِيَّ، وَقَالُوا: هُوَ هكَذَا وَهكَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: « أَمَا لَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَاكَ، لَقَدْ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ـ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ ـ: مَنْ سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ، فَلَا صَلَاةَ لَهُ ». فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: « لَا تَدَعِ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَهُمْ، وَخَلْفَ كُلِّ إِمَامٍ ». فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ، قُلْتُ لَهُ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، كَبُرَ عَلَيَّ قَوْلُكَ لِهذَا الرَّجُلِ حِينَ اسْتَفْتَاكَ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ: فَضَحِكَعليه‌السلام ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: « مَا أَرَاكَ بَعْدُ إِلاَّ هَاهُنَا: يَا زُرَارَةُ، فَأَيَّةَ عِلَّةٍ تُرِيدُ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ أَنَّهُ لَايَأْتَمُّ بِهِ ؟ ». ثُمَّ قَالَ: « يَا زُرَارَةُ، أَمَا تَرَانِي قُلْتُ: صَلُّوا فِي‌ مَسَاجِدِكُمْ، وَصَلُّوا مَعَ أَئِمَّتِكُمْ؟ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said,

‘I was seated in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws one day, when a man came over to himasws , and he said to himasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! I am a man (living) in the vicinity of aMasjid of my people. So when I am not prayingSalāt with them, they catch me and are saying, ‘He is like this, and like this’. So heasws said: ‘But, although you are saying that, AmirAl-Momineen asws ha s said: ‘The one who hears the call (Azan) and does not answer without (valid) reason, so there is noSalāt for him’. So the man (started) to leave, and heasws said to him: ‘Do not leave theSalāt with them and behind every Imam’.

So when he (the man) left, I said to himasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! Youasws words to this man are heavy upon me where youasws issued a verdict. Supposing if they do not happen to be Believers?’ So heasws smiled, then said: ‘Iasws should not see you afterwards (anywhere) except for over here, O Zurara! So which greater proof you need than the fact that he does not performSalāt behind him?’ Then heasws said: ‘O Zurara! Did you not found measws saying, ‘PraySalāt in yourMasjids (plural ofMasjid) and performSalāt behind your A’immahasws (plural of Imamasws )’?’46

6. حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَالْفُضَيْلِ، قَالَا: قُلْنَا لَهُ: الصَّلَوَاتُ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَرِيضَةٌ هِيَ؟ فَقَالَ: « الصَّلَوَاتُ فَرِيضَةٌ، وَلَيْسَ الِاجْتِمَاعُ بِمَفْرُوضٍ فِي الصَّلَوَاتِ كُلِّهَا، وَلكِنَّهَا سُنَّةٌ: وَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا رَغْبَةً عَنْهَا، وَعَنْ جَمَاعَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ، فَلَا صَلَاةَ لَهُ ».

Hammad, from Hareyz, from Zurara and Al Fuzayl both said,

‘We said to himasws , ‘TheSalāts in a Jam’at, are they an Obligation?’ So heasws said: ‘TheSalāts are an Obligation, and the gathering is not an Obligation in theSalāt, all of them, but it is a Sunnah, and the one who neglects it turns away from it and from a group of the Believers without a (valid) reason, so there is noSalāt for him’.47

7. الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ، عَنِ‌ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: قَالَ: « لِيَكُنِ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَ الْإِمَامَ أُولِي الْأَحْلَامِ مِنْكُمْ وَالنُّهى، فَإِنْ نَسِيَ الْإِمَامُ أَوْ تَعَايَا، قَوَّمُوهُ: وَأَفْضَلُ الصُّفُوفِ أَوَّلُهَا، وَأَفْضَلُ أَوَّلِهَا مَا دَنَا مِنَ الْإِمَامِ، وَفَضْلُ صَلَاةِ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَلى صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ فَذّاً خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ دَرَجَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ ».

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Washa, from Al Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Jabir,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Let those who are behind the Imam be the most forbearing and intelligent of you. So if the Imam were to forget or get tired, they can straighten (correct) him; and the most superior of the rows is its first one, and the most superior of it is what is nearest to the Imam, and the superiority of the Jam’atalSalāt over theSalāt of the lone man is twenty five Levels in the Paradise’.48

8. عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ: « فَضْلُ مَيَامِنِ الصُّفُوفِ عَلى مَيَاسِرِهَا كَفَضْلِ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَلى صَلَاةِ الْفَرْدِ ».

Ali, Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad by his chain who said,

‘Heasws said: ‘The superiority of the right flanks of the rows over its left flanks is like the superiority of the Jam’at over the individualSalāt’ .49

9. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « يُحْسَبُ لَكَ ـ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ مَعَهُمْ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَقْتَدِ بِهِمْ ـ مِثْلُ مَا يُحْسَبُ لَكَ إِذَا كُنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ تَقْتَدِي بِهِ ».

Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hafs Bin Al Bakhtary,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘It would be Reckoned for you when you include yourself with them (in Jam’atalSalāt) and even if you do not follow with them, similar to what would be Reckoned for you when you were with the ones you do follow with’. 50

Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara who said ‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘I happen to be with the Imam, and I am free from the recitation before he is free (from it)’. Heasws said: ‘Withhold a Verse and Glorify Allahazwj and Laud upon Himazwj . So when he is free, recite the Verse and performRukū’ .51

From him, from Ahmad, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad AlHajja l, from Sa’alba, from Zurara who said,

Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar,

(It has been narrated) from the one who asked Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘I praySalāt behind the one I do not follow with (Non-Shia), so then I tend to be free from my recitation and he is not free (from it)’. Heasws said: ‘So Glorify until he is free (from the recitation)’.53

‘I said to Abu Ja’farasws , ‘The ones in yourasws Wilayah are differing, so can I praySalāt behind them all?’ So heasws said: ‘Do not praySalāt except behind the one whom you trust in his Religion’.

Then heasws said: ‘And for measws there are ones in theWilayah’ . So I said, ‘Companions?’ So heasws said initiating, before I completed their mention: ‘No. Did Ali Bin Hadeed instruct you with this, or is this from what you have been instructed by Ali Bin Hadeed?’ So I said, ‘Yes’.55

‘I said to Abu Ja’farasws , ‘The people are reporting from AmirAl-Momineen asws th at heasws prayed aSalāt of twoRak’at after the Friday (Salāt) , not keeping a gap between the two with theSalām’ . So heasws said: ‘O Zurara! AmirAl-Momineen asws pr ayedSalāt behind an immoral one. So when he greeted (Salām) and finished, AmirAl-Momineen asws st ood and prayed twoRak’at, not keeping a gap between them with theSalām. So a man by hisasws side said to himasws , ‘O AbuAl-Hasan asws ! You asws prayed fourRak’at, not keeping a gap between them’. So heasws said: ‘These fourRak’at were resemblances’, and remained silent. So, by Allahazwj , he (that man) did not understand what heasws said to him’.56

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Humran Bin Ayn who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’farasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! We tend to pray theSalāt with them (general Muslims) on the day of Friday, and they are praying in the time (different to ours). So what should we do?’ So heasws said: ‘PraySalāt with them’.

So Humran went out to Zurara and said to him, ‘Heasws has ordered us that we should pray with them in theirSalāts ’. So Zurara said, ‘This cannot happen to be except with the explanation’. So Humran said to him, ‘Arise until you hear from himasws ’.

He said, ‘So we went over to himasws and Zurara said to himasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! Humran claims that youasws ordered us that we should be prayingSalāt with them (general Muslims), but I denied that’. So heasws said to us: ‘Aliasws BinAl-Husayn asws used to pray twoRak’at ofSalāt with them. So when they were free, heasws would stand and increase twoRak’at upon these’. 57

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about a man who enters theMasjid and theSalāt has commenced. So while he was standing, praying, the Muezzin recited theAzan and established theSalāt.

A group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Yaqoub Bin Yaqteen who said,

‘I said to AbuAl-Hassan asws , ‘Ma y I be sacrificed for youasws ! The ZohrSalāt comes up, but we are not able upon descending during the time until they (general Muslims) are descending, and we descend along with them, so we praySalāt. Then they are standing and they are hastening, so we stand and prayAl-Asr, and we show them as if we are performingRukū. Then they are descending forAl-Asr, so we proceed and pray with them’. So heasws said: ‘PraySalāt with them, may Allahazwj not Send Blessings upon them’.80

5. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلى أَبِي الْحَسَنِعليه‌السلام : أَنِّي أَحْضُرُ الْمَسَاجِدَ مَعَ جِيرَتِي وَغَيْرِهِمْ، فَيَأْمُرُونِّي بِالصَّلَاةِ بِهِمْ وَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آتِيَهُمْ، وَرُبَّمَا صَلّى خَلْفِي مَنْ يَقْتَدِي بِصَلَاتِي وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفُ وَالْجَاهِلُ، وَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَتَقَدَّمَ وَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ بِحَالِ مَنْ يُصَلِّي بِصَلَاتِي مِمَّنْ سَمَّيْتُ لَكَ، فَمُرْنِي فِي ذلِكَ بِأَمْرِكَ أَنْتَهِي إِلَيْهِ، وَأَعْمَلُ بِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ. فَكَتَبَعليه‌السلام : « صَلِّ بِهِمْ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail who said,

‘I wrote to AbuAl-Hassan asws , ‘I attend theMasjid with my neighbour and others, so they are instructing me with the performance ofSalāt with them, and I have already prayed before I went over to them; and sometimes there prays behind me, the one who follows me in mySalāt, and the weak (of understanding), and the ignorant, and I dislike that I should proceed to lead, and I have prayed in a state of the one who prays by mySalāt, from the ones I have specified to youasws .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The one who praysSalāt with them (general Muslims) in the first row, is like the one who prays behind Rasool-Allahsaww ’.82

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said,

‘I asked himasws about a man who has prayedSalāt, so the Imam comes out and the man has already prayed oneRak’at from the Obligatory (Salāt) . So heasws said: ‘If he was a just Imam, so let him pray another (Rak’at) and finish, and he should make these two to be voluntary (Salāt) , and let him enter with the Imam in hisSalāt, just as he is.

And if he does not happen to be a just Imam, so let him build upon hisSalāt just as he is and he should pray anotherRak’at with him, seated, of a measurement of what he would be saying, ‘I testify that there is no god except for Allahazwj , Alone, there being no associates for Himazwj , and I testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww ’; then let him complete hisSalāt with him upon whatever he is able to, for the dissimulation is vast, and there is nothing from the dissimulation except that its performer is Recompensed upon it, Allahazwj Willing’.83

A group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Haysam Bin Waqid, from Al Husayn Bin Abdullah Al Arjany,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The one who prays aSalāt in his house, then goes to aMasjid from theirMasjids (of the general Muslims), so he praysSalāt with them, would come out with their Rewards (for himself)’. 84

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Safwan, from Abdul Rahman Bin AlHajja j who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the man who attains the secondRak’at from theSalāt with the Imam, and it is the first for himself. How should he deal with it when the Imam sits?’ Heasws said: ‘He should withdraw and not sit fixedly. So when it was the third (Rak’at) for the Imam and it is the second for him, so let him wait a little when the Imam stands, when he can performTashahhud with. The he should catch up with the Imam’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked himasws about the one who attains the last twoRak’at from theSalāt, how should they deal with the recitation’. So heasws said:

‘Recite (himself) in these two, for these two would be the first two for you, and not make the beginning of yourSalāt to be its end’.85

Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the man who goes over to theMasjid and they are in theSalāt, and the Imam is ahead of him by oneRak’at, or more. So the Imam feels sick, so he grabs him by his hand, for he happens to be the closest one of the people to him and he asks him to lead. So heasws said: ‘He should complete theSalāt of the people, then be seated until they (the people) are free from theTashahhud, gesturing towards them by his hand, to his right and to his left. Thus his gesturing towards them by his hand would be theSalām (greeting), and theirSalāt would be accomplished, and he would complete whatever was missed out on, or remains upon him’.91

8. عَنْهُ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ: وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام : رَجُلٌ دَخَلَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ وَهُوَ لَايَنْوِيهَا صَلَاةً، فَأَحْدَثَ إِمَامُهُمْ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ ذلِكَ الرَّجُلِ، فَقَدَّمَهُ، فَصَلّى بِهِمْ: أَيُجْزِئُهُمْ صَلَاتُهُمْ بِصَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ لَايَنْوِيهَا صَلَاةً ؟ فَقَالَ: « لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ وَهُوَ لَايَنْوِيهَا صَلَاةً، بَلْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنْوِيَهَا صَلَاةً، فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صَلّى، فَإِنَّ لَهُ صَلَاةً أُخْرى، وَإِلاَّ فَلَا يَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ، قَدْ يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ صَلَاتُهُمْ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْوِهَا ».

From him, from Al Fazl, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’farasws , ‘A man enters with a group into theirSalāt and he does not intend it to be aSalāt. So their Imam breaks his ablution, and he grabs the hand of that man and moves him forward for him so leadSalāt with them. Would theirSalāts be sufficed by hisSalāt and he did not intend it to be in aSalāt? ’ So heasws said: ‘It is not befitting for the man that he enters with a group into theirSalāt and he does not intend it to be in aSalāt, but, it is befitting for him that he intends it as aSalāt. Then, if it was so that he had already prayedSalāt, so it would be anotherSalāt for him, or else, so he should not enter with them. It would have sufficed from the group, theirSalāt, and even if he did not intend it as so’.92

9. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَمَّ قَوْماً، فَصَلّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً، ثُمَّ مَاتَ؟ قَالَ: « يُقَدِّمُونَ رَجُلاً آخَرَ، وَيَعْتَدُّونَ بِالرَّكْعَةِ، وَيَطْرَحُونَ الْمَيِّتَ خَلْفَهُمْ، وَيَغْتَسِلُ مَنْ مَسَّهُ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about a man who leads a group (inSalāt) , so he prays oneRak’at with them, then dies. Heasws said: ‘They should bring forward another man, and they should be counting with theRak’at, and they should move the deceased to be behind them, and the one who touches him would wash’.93

10. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مَرْوَكِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: قَالَ: « أَيَّ شَيْ‌ءٍ يَقُولُ هؤُلَاءِ فِي الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَفُوتُهُ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ رَكْعَتَانِ؟ ». قُلْتُ: يَقُولُونَ: يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا بِالْحَمْدِ وَسُورَةٍ. فَقَالَ: « هذَا يُقَلِّبُ صَلَاتَهُ يَجْعَلُ أَوَّلَهَا آخِرَهَا ». قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟. قَالَ: « يَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Marouk Bin Ubeyd, from Ahmad Bin Al Nazar, from a man,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Which thing are they (people) saying regarding the man who misses out on twoRak’at with the Imam?’ I said, ‘They are saying he should recite in these two withAl-Hamd (Chapter 1 ) and a (another) Chapter’. So heasws said: ‘This is one who overturns hisSalāt, making its beginning to be its end’. I said, ‘How should he deal with it?’ Heasws said: ‘He should recite the Opening of the Book (Chapter 1) during eachRak’at’ .94

11. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَجِي‌ءُ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ وَقَدْ سَبَقَنِي بِرَكْعَةٍ فِي الْفَجْرِ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ وَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِي أَنِّي أَتْمَمْتُ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ ذَاكِراً لِلّهِ حَتّى طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَلَمَّا طَلَعَتْ نَهَضْتُ، فَذَكَرْتُ أَنَّ الْإِمَامَ كَانَ سَبَقَنِي بِرَكْعَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ: « إِنْ كُنْتَ فِي مَقَامِكَ، فَأَتِمَّ بِرَكْعَةٍ: وَإِنْ كُنْتَ قَدِ انْصَرَفْتَ، فَعَلَيْكَ الْإِعَادَةُ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘I said, ‘I went over to the Imam and he was ahead of me by oneRak’at duringAl-Fajr. So when h e offeredSalām, it occurred in my heart that I had completed. So I did not cease to mentioned Allahazwj until the sun emerged. So when the sun emerged, I got up and I remembered that the Imam had preceded me by oneRak’at’ . So heasws said: ‘If you were in your place, so complete with oneRak’at, and if you had left, so upon you is the repeating’.95

12. جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلّى مَعَ قَوْمٍ وَهُوَ يَرى أَنَّهَا الْأُولى وَكَانَتِ الْعَصْرَ؟ قَالَ: « فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا الْأُولى، وَلْيُصَلِّ الْعَصْرَ » وَفِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ: « فَإِنْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ صَلَّى الْأُولى، فَلَا يَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ ».

A group of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Al Husayn Bin Usman, from Sama’at, from Abu Baseer who said ‘I asked himasws about the man who prays with a group and he sees that it is the first (Al-Zohr) , and it wasAl-Asr Heasws said: ‘So let him make it to be the first (Al-Zohr) , and he should prayAl-Asr’ .

And in another Hadeeth, ‘(Heasws said): ‘So if he knows that they were inAl-Asr Salāt and he had not prayed the first (Al-Zohr) , so he should not enter with them’.96

13. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ، عَنْ جَمِيلٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا ـ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِمَا ـ عَنْ إِمَامٍ أَمَّ قَوْماً، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلى وُضُوءٍ، فَانْصَرَفَ، وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ رَجُلٍ، وَأَدْخَلَهُ، فَقَدَّمَهُ، وَلَمْ يَعْلَمِ الَّذِي قُدِّمَ مَا صَلَّى الْقَوْمُ؟ قَالَ: « يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ: فَإِنْ أَخْطَأَ، سَبَّحَ الْقَوْمُ بِهِ، وَبَنى عَلى صَلَاةِ الَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلَهُ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Jameel, from Zurara who said,

‘I asked one of the two (5th or 6th Imamasws ) about a Imam who leads a group, so he remembers that he did not happen to be upon an ablution. So he leaves, and grabs a hand of a man and includes him. So he moves forward, and the one who moves forward does not know what the group has prayed (from theSalāt) . Heasws said: ‘He should praySalāt with them. So if he were to err, the group should Glorify with him and build upon theSalāt which was before him’.97

14. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنِ الَّذِي يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ قَبْلَ الْإِمَامِ: أَيَعُودُ، فَيَرْكَعُ إِذَا أَبْطَأَ الْإِمَامُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ؟ قَالَ: « لَا ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Giyas Bin Ibrahim who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws was asked about the one who raises his head before the Imam does. Should he return andRukū when the Imam is delayed in raising his head?’ Heasws said: ‘No’. 98

57 - بَابُ الرَّجُلِ يَخْطُو إِلَى الصَّفِّ أَوْ يَقُومُ خَلْفَ الصَّفِّ وَحْدَهُ أَوْ يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْإِمَامِ مَا لَايَتَخَطّى‌

Chapter 57 – The man who lines up to a row, or he stand behind the row alone, or there happens to be between him and the Imam what cannot constitue a line

1. جَمَاعَةٌ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام وَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ دُونَ الصُّفُوفِ رَكَعُوا، فَرَكَعَ وَحْدَهُ، وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ، فَمَضى حَتّى لَحِقَ الصُّفُوفَ.

A group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said,

‘I was Abu Abdullahasws and heasws entered the SacredMasjid regardingAl-Asr Salāt. So when heasws was besides the rows, they performedRukū. So heasws performedRukū alone andSajdah twoSajdahs , then stood and went until he joined the rows’.99

2. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: الرَّجُلُ يَتَأَخَّرُ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ: « لَا ». قُلْتُ: فَيَتَقَدَّمُ؟ قَالَ: « نَعَمْ، مَا شَاءَ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ ».

Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Rabie, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I said to himasws , ‘Can the man move backwards while he is in theSalāt? ’ Heasws said: ‘No’. I said, ‘So can he move forward?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, whatever he so desire to, towards theQiblah’ .100

3. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَأْتِي الصَّلَاةَ، فَلَا يَجِدُ فِي الصَّفِّ مَقَاماً: أَيَقُومُ وَحْدَهُ حَتّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ؟ قَالَ: « نَعَمْ، لَابَأْسَ أَنْ يَقُومَ بِحِذَاءِ الْإِمَامِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Saeed Al A’araj who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the man goes over for theSalāt but he cannot find a place in the row. Can he stand alone until he is free from hisSalāt? ’ Heasws Yes. There is no problem even if he were to stand by the side (parallel) to the Imam’.101

4. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِنْ صَلّى قَوْمٌ وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْإِمَامِ مَا لَايُتَخَطّى، فَلَيْسَ ذلِكَ الْإِمَامُ لَهُمْ بِإِمَامٍ، وَأَيُّ صَفٍّ كَانَ أَهْلُهُ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاةِ إِمَامٍ وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الصَّفِّ الَّذِي يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ قَدْرُ مَا لَايُتَخَطّى، فَلَيْسَ تِلْكَ لَهُمْ بِصَلَاةٍ، فَإِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ سُتْرَةٌ أَوْ جِدَارٌ، فَلَيْسَتْ تِلْكَ لَهُمْ بِصَلَاةٍ إِلاَّ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ حِيَالِ الْبَابِ ». قَالَ: وَقَالَ: « هذِهِ الْمَقَاصِيرُ لَمْ يَكُنَّ فِي زَمَانِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَإِنَّمَا أَحْدَثَهَا الْجَبَّارُونَ، لَيْسَتْ لِمَنْ صَلّى خَلْفَهَا ـ مُقْتَدِياً بِصَلَاةِ مَنْ فِيهَا ـ صَلَاةٌ ». قَالَ: وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام : « يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ الصُّفُوفُ تَامَّةً مُتَوَاصِلَةً بَعْضُهَا إِلى‌بَعْضٍ، لَايَكُونُ بَيْنَ صَفَّيْنِ مَا لَايُتَخَطّى، يَكُونُ قَدْرُ ذلِكَ مَسْقَطَ جَسَدِ الْإِنْسَانِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘If a group is prayingSalāt and between them and the Imam is what cannot be stepped (by one step), so that is not a Imam for them. And which row was its rightful praying with aSalāt of a prayer-

leader and between them and the one which is in front them there is a measurement of what cannot be stepped (by one step), so that (row) is not for them.

So if there was between them a curtain or a wall, so that would not be for them with aSalāt, except the one who was from around the door’. And heasws said: ‘These chapels did not happen to be in the era of anyone from the people. But rather, the tyrants innovated them for the one who praysSalāt behind it, following in theSalāt of the one who is inside it, for aSalāt’ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘It is befitting if there happen to be complete rows, linked, one with the other, there not being between any two rows what cannot be stepped (by one step). There should happen to be a measurement of that of a falling inSajdah (prostrating) of a body of a person’.102

5. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبَانٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِذَا دَخَلْتَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَالْإِمَامُ رَاكِعٌ، فَظَنَنْتَ أَنَّكَ إِنْ مَشَيْتَ إِلَيْهِ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُدْرِكَهُ، فَكَبِّرْ وَارْكَعْ: وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَاسْجُدْ مَكَانَكَ: فَإِنْ قَامَ، فَالْحَقْ بِالصَّفِّ: وَإِنْ جَلَسَ، فَاجْلِسْ مَكَانَكَ، فَإِذَا قَامَ، فَالْحَقْ بِالصَّفِّ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Abdullah,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Whenever you enter theMasjid and the Imam is inRukū, so you think that if you were to walk over to him, he would raise his head before you reach, exclaim aTakbīr and go into Rukū. And when he does raise his head, so performSajdah in your place. So if he were to stand, so join up with the row, and if he was seated, so sit in your place. So when he stands, then join up with the row’.103

6. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « لَا أَرى بِالصُّفُوفِ بَيْنَ الْأَسَاطِينِ بَأْساً ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Iasws do not see a problem with the rows formed between the two pillars’.104

7. أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ وَغَيْرُهُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ‌ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ السَّابَاطِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُدْرِكُ الْإِمَامَ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ يَتَشَهَّدُ، وَلَيْسَ خَلْفَهُ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ؟ قَالَ: « لَا يَتَقَدَّمُ الْإِمَامَ، وَلَايَتَأَخَّرُ الرَّجُلَ، وَلكِنْ يَقْعُدُ الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مَعَهُ خَلْفَ الْإِمَامِ، فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ الْإِمَامُ، قَامَ الرَّجُلُ، فَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ ».

Ahmad Bin Idrees, and someone else, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Amro Bin Saeed, from Musaddiq Bin Sadaqa, from Ammar Al Sabaty,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘I asked himasws about the man who reaches the Imam and he is seated performingTashahhud, and there is none behind him except for one man on his right. Heasws said: ‘He should neither preceded the Imam nor be behind the man, but he should be seated, the one who entered with him, behind the Imam. So when the Imam offersSalām (greets), the man should stand and complete theSalāt’ .105

8. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْهَاشِمِيِّ رَفَعَهُ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام يُصَلِّي بِقَوْمٍ وَهُوَ إِلى زَاوِيَةٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ بِقُرْبِ الْحَائِطِ وَكُلُّهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَلَيْسَ عَلى يَسَارِهِ أَحَدٌ.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ali Bin Ibrahim Al Hashimy, raising it, said,

‘I saw Abu Abdullahasws prayingSalāt with a group (leading them), and heasws was by a corner in hisasws house, near the wall, and all of them were on hisasws right, and there was no one on hisasws left’.106

Ahmad Bin Idrees, and someone else, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Amro Bin Saeed, from Musaddiq Bin Sadaqa, from Ammar Al Sabaty,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘I asked himasws about the man who prays with a group (leading them), and they are in a place which is lower than his place which he is praying in. So heasws said: ‘If it was so that the Imam was upon something resembling a platform, or upon a place higher than their place, theirSalāt is not allowed; and if he was higher than them by a measurement of a finger, or more, or less, when it has higher by the plateau of the ravine.

So if the land was stretched, or it was in a place from it which was higher, so the Imams stands upon the higher place, and the ones behind him stand upon (that which is) lower than him, and the ground it stretched, except that they are in a place of slope, there is no problem’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And he was asked, ‘Supposing if the Imam stands lower than the ones who pray behind him?’ Heasws said: ‘There is no problem’. And heasws said:

‘If the man was on top of his house or other than that, a shop or something else, and the Imam was upon the ground, lower than him, it is allowed for the man that he praysSalāt behind him, and follow him in hisSalāt, and even if he was higher than him by something more’.107

12. الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ وَثَوْبُهُ عَلى ظَهْرِهِ وَمَنْكِبَيْهِ، فَيُسْبِلُهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، وَلَايَلْتَحِفُ بِهِ ». وَأَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ رَآهُ يَفْعَلُ ذلِكَ.

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Shuayb, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said ‘There is no problem with it if the man was to pray and his cloth was upon his back, and his shoulders, so it hangs down to the ground; and he should not wrap with it, and Iasws have been informed by the one who reported it, that is being done’.147

13. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَشْتَمِلُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ بِثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ قَالَ: « لَا يَشْتَمِلُ بِثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَأَمَّا أَنْ يَتَوَشَّحَ فَيُغَطِّيَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ، فَلَا بَأْسَ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said,

‘I asked himasws about the man who wraps in one cloth during aSalāt. Heasws said: ‘He should not with one cloth. But, as for him wrapping, so if he covers his shoulders, then there is no problem’.148

14. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « لَا يَصْلُحُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الْمُسْلِمَةِ أَنْ تَلْبَسَ مِنَ الْخُمُرِ وَالدُّرُوعِ مَا لَايُوَارِي شَيْئاً »

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hamma, from Al Halby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘It is not correct for the Muslim woman that she wears from the scarf and the gown what would not go round anything’.149

15. جَمَاعَةٌ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَكُونُ فِي فَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ ثَوْبٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَأَجْنَبَ فِيهِ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ مَاءٌ: كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ: « يَتَيَمَّمُ، وَيُصَلِّي عُرْيَاناً قَاعِداً يُومِئُ إِيمَاءً ».

A group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from his brother Al Hassan, from Zur’at, form Sama’at who said,

‘I asked himasws about a man who happens to be in a wilderness of the earth, there not being upon him except for one cloth and he ends up with a sexual impurity in it, and there is no water with him. How should he deal with it?’ Heasws said: ‘He should performTayammum and he should praySalāt naked, seated, indicating with gestures’.150

16. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ حَرِيزٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام : رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ مِنْ سَفِينَةٍ عُرْيَاناً، أَوْ سُلِبَ ثِيَابَهُ، وَلَمْ يَجِدْ شَيْئاً يُصَلِّي فِيهِ؟ فَقَالَ: « يُصَلِّي إِيمَاءً: فَإِنْ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةً، جَعَلَتْ يَدَهَا عَلى فَرْجِهَا: وَإِنْ كَانَ رَجُلاً، وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلى سَوْأَتِهِ، ثُمَّ يَجْلِسَانِ، فَيُومِئَانِ إِيمَاءً، وَلَايَسْجُدَانِ وَلَا يَرْكَعَانِ، فَيَبْدُو مَا خَلْفَهُمَا، تَكُونُ صَلَاتُهُمَا إِيمَاءً بِرُؤُوسِهِمَا ». قَالَ: « وَإِنْ كَانَا فِي مَاءٍ، أَوْ بَحْرٍ لُجِّيٍّ، لَمْ يَسْجُدَا عَلَيْهِ، وَمَوْضُوعٌ عَنْهُمَا التَّوَجُّهُ فِيهِ، يُومِئَانِ فِي ذلِكَ إِيمَاءً رَفْعُهُمَا تَوَجُّهٌ وَوَضْعُهُمَا ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’far, ‘A man comes out from a ship naked, or his clothes have been looted and he cannot find anything he can praySalāt in’. So heasws said: ‘He should praySalāt by gestures. So if it was a woman, she would make her hand to be upon her private part, and if it was a man he should place his hand upon his private part. Then they would sit indicating with gestures, neither performSajdah nor performRukū lest what is behind them be exposed. TheirSalāt would be gesturing by their heads’.

Heasws said: ‘And if they were both in water, or sea waves, they would not performSajdah upon it, and the direction (facingQiblah) would be dropped from them in it. They would be indicating in that with gestures, the direction (Qiblah) having been Raised from them and their ablutions’.151
