كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع أَنِّي أَحْضُرُ الْمَسَاجِدَ مَعَ جِيرَتِي وَ غَيْرِهِمْ فَيَأْمُرُونِّي بِالصَّلَاةِ بِهِمْ وَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آتِيَهُمْ وَ رُبَّمَا صَلَّى خَلْفِي مَنْ يَقْتَدِي بِصَلَاتِي وَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفُ وَ الْجَاهِلُ وَ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَتَقَدَّمَ وَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ بِحَالِ مَنْ يُصَلِّي بِصَلَاتِي مِمَّنْ سَمَّيْتُ لَكَ فَمُرْنِي فِي ذَلِكَ بِأَمْرِكَ أَنْتَهِي إِلَيْهِ وَ أَعْمَلُ بِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَكَتَبَ ع صَلِّ بِهِمْ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ’Isma’il who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu al-Hassan, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, ‘I go to Masjid with my neighbors and others and they ask me to lead Salah (prayer) with them, when I have already performed Salah (prayer) before coming to them. Perhaps certain ones have followed me in Salah (prayer) that I have already performed and they are people of weak understanding and the ignorant ones. I dislike leading. I have performed in such condition that I have mentioned. Command me so I obey and follow your command by the will of Allah. He (the Imam) wrote to me, ‘You must lead them in Salah (prayer).”’
