Arabic text

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَ يَجُوزُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ اَلصَّلاَةُ خَلْفَ مَنْ وَقَفَ عَلَى أَبِيكَ وَ جَدِّكَ صَلَوَاتُُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا فَأَجَابَ« لاَ تُصَلِّ وَرَاءَهُ»

Translation

Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from Abu Abdillah al-Barqi, he said: I wrote to Abu Ja’far (a.s), peace be upon him: “May I be your ransom, is it permissible to pray behind someone who has stopped (withheld) regarding your father (Imam al-Ridha (a.s)) and grandfather (Imams (a.s)), peace be upon them all?” He (a.s) replied: “Do not pray behind him.”
