Arabic text

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْإِمَامِ إِذَا أَخْطَأَ فِي اَلْقُرْآنِ فَلاَ يَدْرِي مَا يَقُولُ قَالَ« يَفْتَحُ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضُ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ» قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَؤُمُّ اَلنَّاسَ فَيَسْمَعُونَ صَوْتَهُ وَ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ مَا يَقُولُ فَقَالَ« إِذَا سَمِعَ صَوْتَهُ فَهُوَ يُجْزِيهِ وَ إِذَا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ صَوْتَهُ قَرَأَ لِنَفْسِهِ»

Translation

Al-Husayn ibn Said from al-Hasan from Zurah from Sama’ah, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about an imam (of prayer) who makes a mistake in the Qur’an and does not know what to say. Imam (a.s) said: “Someone from behind him should prompt him.” He (Sama’ah) said: “And I asked Imam (a.s) about a man leading the people in prayer, and they hear his voice but do not understand what he is saying.” Imam (a.s) said: “If he hears his voice, then it suffices him; and if he does not hear his voice, then he should recite for himself.”
