اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَؤُمُّ اَلْقَوْمَ وَ أَنْتَ لاَ تَرْضَى بِهِ فِي صَلاَةٍ يُجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ« إِذَا سَمِعْتَ كِتَابَ اَللَّهِ يُتْلَى فَأَنْصِتْ لَهُ» قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ يَشْهَدُ عَلَيَّ بِالشِّرْكِ قَالَ« إِنْ عَصَى اَللَّهَ فَأَطِعِ اَللَّهَ» فَرَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ لِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أُصَلِّي إِذاً فِي بَيْتِي ثُمَّ أَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ« أَنْتَ وَذَاكَ» وَقَالَ« إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ فِي صَلاَةِ اَلصُّبْحِ فَقَرَأَ اِبْنُ اَلْكَوَّاءِ وَ هُوَ خَلْفَهُ« وَ لَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَى اَلَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ اَلْخٰاسِرِينَ» فَأَنْصَتَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ تَعْظِيماً لِلْقُرْآنِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ اَلْآيَةِ ثُمَّ عَادَ فِي قِرَاءَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ اِبْنُ اَلْكَوَّاءِ اَلْآيَةَ فَأَنْصَتَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَيْضاً ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فَأَعَادَ اِبْنُ اَلْكَوَّاءِ فَأَنْصَتَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ«« فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اَللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَ لاٰ يَسْتَخِفَّنَّكَ اَلَّذِينَ لاٰ يُوقِنُونَ»» ثُمَّ أَتَمَّ اَلسُّورَةَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ»
Al-Husayn ibn Said from Hammad ibn Isa from Muawiyah ibn Wahb from Abi Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam al-Sadiq (a.s) about a man who leads the people in prayer, and you are not pleased with him, in a prayer in which the recitation is done aloud. Imam (a.s) said: “If you hear the Book of Allah (swt) being recited, then listen to it.” I asked: “But he testifies against me with shirk.” Imam (a.s) said: “If he disobeys Allah (swt), then you obey Allah (swt).” I repeated the question to Imam (a.s), but Imam (a.s) refused to permit me (to recite). Then I asked the Imam (a.s): “Shall I then pray in my house and afterward go out to him?” Imam (a.s) said: “That is up to you.” And Imam (a.s) said: “Indeed, Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, was in the morning prayer, and Ibn al-Kawwa, who was standing behind him, recited: 'And indeed it has been revealed to you and to those before you: if you associate (others with Allah), your deeds will surely be nullified, and you will certainly be among the losers' (Surah Az-Zumar 39:65) So Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, remained silent out of reverence for the Qur’an until he completed the verse. Then Imam Ali (a.s) resumed his recitation. Ibn al-Kawwa repeated the verse, and Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, again remained silent. Then Imam (a.s) recited, and Ibn al-Kawwa repeated it again, so Imam Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, remained silent once more. Then Imam Ali (a.s) recited: 'So be patient, indeed the promise of Allah (swt) is true, and let not those who are uncertain (in faith) cause you to lose resolve.' (Surah Ar-Rum 30:60). Then Imam Ali (a.s) completed the surah and bowed (into ruku).”
