مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْجَوْزَاءِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْأَ غْلَفُ لاَ يَؤُمُّ اَلْقَوْمَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَقْرَأَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُ ضَيَّعَ مِنَ اَلسُّنَّةِ أَعْظَمَهَا وَ لاَ تُقْبَلُ لَهُ شَهَادَةٌ وَ لاَ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ تَرَكَ ذَلِكَ خَوْفاً عَلَى نَفْسِهِ»
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya from Abi Ja’far from Abi al-Jawza from al-Husayn ibn Alwan from Amru ibn Khalid from Zayd ibn Ali from his forefathers from Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam Ali (a.s) said: “The uncircumcised person (al-aghlaf) does not lead the people in prayer, even if he is the most proficient among them in recitation, because he has neglected the greatest of the Sunnah. His testimony is not accepted, nor is the funeral prayer performed over him except if he abandoned it (circumcision) out of fear for his life.”
