اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِنْ كُنْتَ خَلْفَ اَلْإِمَامِ فِي صَلاَةٍ لاَ تَجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ وَ كَانَ اَلرَّجُلُ مَأْمُوناً عَلَى اَلْقُرْآنِ فَلاَ تَقْرَأْ خَلْفَهُ فِي اَلْأَوَّلَتَيْنِ» وَ قَالَ« يُجْزِيكَ اَلتَّسْبِيحُ فِي اَلْأَخِيرَتَيْنِ» قُلْتُ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تَقُولُ أَنْتَ قَالَ« أَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ اَلْكِتَابِ»

Translation

Al-Husayn ibn Said from Safwan from Ibn Sinan from Abi Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) said: “If you are behind the imam (of prayer) in a prayer in which the recitation is not done aloud, then remain silent until he finishes, and if the man (the imam of prayer) is trusted with the Qur’an, then do not recite behind him in the first two units.” And Imam (a.s) said: “The glorification (tasbih) suffices you in the last two units.” I asked: “What do you yourself say?” Imam (a.s) said: “I recite Surah al-Fatihah.”
