اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ اَلْبَصْرِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي نَازِلٌ فِي بَنِي عَدِيٍّ وَ مُؤَذِّنُهُمْ وَ إِمَامُهُمْ وَ جَمِيعُ أَهْلِ اَلْمَسْجِدِ عُثْمَانِيَّةٌ يَتَبَرَّءُونَ مِنْكُمْ وَ مِنْ شِيعَتِكُمْ وَ أَنَا نَازِلٌ فِيهِمْ فَمَا تَرَى فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ خَلْفَ اَلْإِمَامِ قَالَ« صَلِّ خَلْفَهُ» قَالَ قَالَ« وَ اِحْتَسِبْ بِمَا تَسْمَعُ وَ لَوْ قَدِمْتَ اَلْبَصْرَةَ لَقَدْ سَأَلَكَ اَلْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ وَ أَخْبَرْتَهُ بِمَا أَفْتَيْتُكَ فَتَأْخُذُ بِقَوْلِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ وَ تَدَعُ قَوْلِي» قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَدِمْتُ اَلْبَصْرَةَ فَأَخْبَرْتُ فُضَيْلاً بِمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا قَالَ وَ لَكِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ وَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَاهُ يَقُولاَنِ« لاَ تَعْتَدَّ بِالصَّلاَةِ خَلْفَ اَلنَّاصِبِ وَ اِقْرَأْ لِنَفْسِكَ كَأَنَّكَ وَحْدَكَ» قَالَ فَأَخَذْتُ بِقَوْلِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ وَ تَرَكْتُ قَوْلَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
Al-Husayn ibn Said from Ibn Abi Umayr from Umar ibn Udhaynah from Ali ibn Said al-Basri, he said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him: “I am residing among Bani Adi, and their muadhdhin and imam (of prayer) and all the people of the mosque are Uthmanis, they disassociate themselves from you (Imam al-Sadiq (a.s)) and your Shiah, and I am living among them. What do you say regarding prayer behind their imam (of prayer)?” Imam (a.s) said: “Pray behind him.” He (al-Basri) said: “Imam (a.s) then said to me: ‘And seek reward for what you hear. And if you were to go to Basrah, al-Fudayl ibn Yasar would surely ask you, and you would inform him of what I have issued to you as a verdict and then you would follow al-Fudayl’s word and leave mine.’” Ali (al-Basri) said: “So I went to Basrah and informed al-Fudayl of what Imam (a.s) had said. He (al-Fudayl) replied: “Imam (a.s) knows better what he said, but I have heard Him (a.s) and I have heard his father (Imam al-Baqir (a.s)) both saying: ‘Do not count the prayer behind a nasib (known enemy of the Ahlulbayt (a.s)), and recite to yourself as if you were alone.’” He (al-Basri) said: “So I followed the statement of al-Fudayl and left the statement of Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him.”
