وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« إِنَّ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« إِذَا صَلَّوُا اَلْجُمُعَةَ فِي وَقْتٍ فَصَلُّوا مَعَهُمْ»» قَالَ زُرَارَةُ قُلْتُ لَهُ هَذَا مَالاَ يَكُونُ اِتَّقَاكَ عَدُوُّ اَللَّهِ أَقْتَدِي بِهِ قَالَ حُمْرَانُ كَيْفَ اِتَّقَانِي وَأَنَا لَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ هُوَ اَلَّذِي اِبْتَدَأَنِي وَقَالَ« فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« إِذَا صَلَّوُا اَلْجُمُعَةَ فِي وَقْتٍ فَصَلُّوا مَعَهُمْ»» كَيْفَ يَكُونُ فِي هَذَا مِنْهُ تَقِيَّةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ قَدِ اِتَّقَاكَ وَهَذَا مَالاَ يَجُوزُ حَتَّى قُضِيَ أَنَّا اِجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ حُمْرَانُ أَصْلَحَكَ اَللَّهُ حَدَّثْتُ هَذَا اَلْحَدِيثَ اَلَّذِي حَدَّثْتَنِي بِهِ «أَنَّ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« إِذَا صَلَّوُا اَلْجُمُعَةَ فِي وَقْتٍ فَصَلُّوا مَعَهُمْ»» فَقَالَ هَذَا لاَ يَكُونُ عَدُوُّ اَللَّهِ فَاسِقٌ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَقْتَدِيَ بِهِ وَ لاَ نُصَلِّيَ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« إِذَا صَلَّوُا اَلْجُمُعَةَ فِي وَقْتٍ فَصَلُّوا مَعَهُمْ» وَ لاَ تَقُومَنَّ مِنْ مَقْعَدِكَ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أُخْرَيَيْنِ» قُلْتُ فَأَكُونُ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ أَرْبَعاً لِنَفْسِي لَمْ أَقْتَدِ بِهِ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَسَكَتَ وَ سَكَتَ صَاحِبِي وَ رَضِينَا
And from him, from Safwan, from Ibn Bukayr, from Zurarah, from Humran, he said: Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said to me (Humran): “Indeed, in the Book of Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, it is written: ‘If they perform the Jumu‘ah prayer within its (proper) time, then pray with them.’” Zurarah said: “I said to him (Humran) ‘This is something that should not be, was it out of taqiyyah toward the enemy of Allah (swt) that I should follow him (in prayer)?’” Humran said: “How could it be taqiyyah on my part when I did not even ask Imam (a.s)? Imam (a.s) is the one who initiated with me and said; ‘In the Book of Ali (a.s), peace be upon him, it said ‘If they perform the Jumu‘ah prayer within its (proper) time, then pray with them.’ How could there be any taqiyyah in this from Imam (a.s)?” I (Zurarah) said: “He exercised taqiyyah with you, and this is something that is not permissible.” Until it happened that we gathered in the presence of Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, and Humran said to Imam (a.s): “May Allah set you right, I narrated the hadith which you narrated to me, that in the ‘Book of Ali (a.s)’, peace be upon him, it says: ‘If they perform the Jumu‘ah prayer within its (proper) time, then pray with them.’” So He (Zurarah) said: “That cannot be. The enemy of Allah (swt) is a transgressor; it is not proper for us to follow him nor to pray with him.” Then Abu Abdillah (a.s), peace be upon him, said: “In the ‘Book of Ali (a.s)’, peace be upon him, it says: ‘If they perform the Jumu‘ah prayer within its (proper) time, then pray with them, and do not rise from your place until you pray two more rak‘ahs.’” I asked: “So I will have prayed four for myself and will not have followed him?” Imam (a.s) said: “Yes.” He was silent, and my companion was silent, and we were satisfied (by this answer).
