مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ دَخَلَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فِي صَلاَتِهِمْ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَنْوِيهَا صَلاَةً فَأَحْدَثَ إِمَامُهُمْ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ ذَلِكَ اَلرَّجُلِ فَقَدَّمَهُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ أَيُجْزِيهِمْ صَلاَتُهُمْ بِصَلاَتِهِ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَنْوِيهَا صَلاَةً فَقَالَ« لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فِي صَلاَتِهِمْ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَنْوِيهَا صَلاَةً بَلْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنْوِيَهَا صَلاَةً فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى فَإِنَّ لَهُ صَلاَةً أُخْرَى وَ إِلاَّ فَلاَ يَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ قَدْ تُجْزِي عَنِ اَلْقَوْمِ صَلاَتُهُمْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَنْوِهَا»
Muhammad ibn Yaqub narrated from Muhammad ibn Ismail, from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, and from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, both from Hammad, from Hariz, from Zurarah, who said: I said to Abu Ja’far (a.s), peace be upon him: “A man entered with a group in their prayer while he did not intend it as prayer, then their imam (of prayer) became invalidated (entered a state of hadath), so the imam (of prayer) took the hand of that man and placed him forward, and he led them in prayer. Does their prayer count when he was leading them without having intended it as prayer?” Imam (a.s) said: “It is not appropriate for a man to enter with a group in their prayer while he does not intend it as prayer. Rather, he should intend it as prayer. So if he had already prayed, then for him it will count as another prayer, and if not, then he should not enter with them. As for the group, their prayer may be valid even if he had not intended it.”
