Arabic text

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ وَفَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلْعَبْدِ يَؤُمُّ اَلْقَوْمَ إِذَا رَضُوا بِهِ وَ كَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآناً قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ»

Translation

Al-Husayn ibn Said from Safwan and Fadalah from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad from one of the two (Imams (a.s)), peace be upon them: Imam (a.s) was asked about a slave leading the people in prayer if they are pleased with him and he is the most knowledgeable among them in the Qur’an. Imam (a.s) said: “There is no harm in it.”

Translation: Haydar Ali Shaykh ibn Muhammad — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
