سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يَؤُمُّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ قَالَ« نَعَمْ تَكُونُ خَلْفَهُ» وَ عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ تَؤُمُّ اَلنِّسَاءَ قَالَ« نَعَمْ وَ تَقُومُ وَسَطاً بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ لاَ تَتَقَدَّمُهُنَّ»

Translation

Sa’ad ibn Abdillah from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal from Abdillah ibn Bukayr from some of our companions from Abi Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) was asked regarding a man leading a woman in prayer. Imam (a.s) said: “Yes, she stands behind him.” And (Imam (a.s) was asked) regarding a woman leading women in prayer. Imam (a.s) said: “Yes, and she stands in the middle of them and does not stand in front of them.”
