رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍاِ بْنُ عُقْدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى اَلْخَازِمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ اَلْمُرَافِقِيُّ وَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ عَمْرُو بْنُ اَلرَّبِيعِ اَلنَّصْرِيُّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلْقِرَاءَةِ خَلْفَ اَلْإِمَامِ فَقَالَ« إِذَا كُنْتَ خَلْفَ إِمَامٍ تَتَوَلاَّهُ وَ تَثِقُ بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُجْزِيكَ قِرَاءَتُهُ وَ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ فَاقْرَأْ فِيمَا يُخَافِتُ فِيهِ فَإِذَا جَهَرَ فَأَنْصِتْ قَالَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى« وَأَنْصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ»» قَالَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَثِقُ بِهِ أَ فَأُصَلِّي خَلْفَهُ وَ أَقْرَأُ قَالَ« لاَ صَلِّ قَبْلَهُ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ» فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَ فَأُصَلِّي خَلْفَهُ وَ أَجْعَلُهَا تَطَوُّعاً قَالَ فَقَالَ« لَوْ قُبِلَ اَلتَّطَوُّعُ لَقُبِلَتِ اَلْفَرِيضَةُ وَ لَكِنِ اِجْعَلْهَا سُبْحَةً»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Said Ibn Uqdah narrated, saying: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Khazimi narrated to us, who said: al-Hasan ibn al-Husayn narrated to us, who said: Ibrahim ibn Ali al-Murafiqi and Abu Ahmad Amru ibn al-Rabi al-Nasri narrated to us from Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s), peace be upon him: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) was asked about reciting behind the imam (of prayer). Imam (a.s) said: “If you are behind an imam (of prayer) whom you follow and trust, then his recitation suffices you. But if you wish to recite, then recite in the parts where he recites quietly. When he recites aloud, then listen attentively. Allah (swt), the Exalted, said: ‘And listen attentively so that you may receive mercy.’” (Surah Al-Aʿraf 7:204) Imam (a.s) was then asked: “And if I do not trust him (imam of prayer), should I pray behind him and recite?” Imam (a.s) said: “No. Pray before him or after him.” Imam (a.s) was asked: “Shall I pray behind him and make it a supererogatory prayer?” Imam (a.s) said: “If the supererogatory prayer were accepted, then the obligatory would have been accepted. But rather, make it a tasbih prayer (a non-obligatory act of glorification).”
