مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ اَلْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ خَلْفَ اَلْإِمَامِ أَقْرَأُ خَلْفَهُ فَقَالَ« أَمَّا اَلصَّلاَةُ اَلَّتِي لاَ يُجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ جُعِلَ إِلَيْهِ فَلاَ تَقْرَأْ خَلْفَهُ وَ أَمَّا اَلَّتِي يُجْهَرُ فِيهَا فَإِنَّمَا أَمَرْنَا بِالْجَهْرِ لِيُنْصِتَ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ فَإِنْ سَمِعْتَ فَأَنْصِتْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ فَاقْرَأْ»

Translation

Muhammad ibn Yaqub narrated from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn and Muhammad ibn Ismail from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, all from Safwan ibn Yahya from Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj, who said: I asked Aba Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, about prayer behind the imam (of prayer), should I recite behind him? Imam (a.s) said: “As for the prayer in which the recitation is not done aloud, then that has been assigned to him (the imam of prayer), so do not recite behind him. But as for the prayer in which the recitation is done aloud, then we were only commanded to recite aloud so that those behind him may listen attentively. So if you hear, then remain silent; and if you do not hear, then recite.”
