Chapter on What is Permissible to Pray in, from Clothing and Place, and What is Not Permissible to Pray in, from That
وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ قَالَ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« كُلُّ طَرِيقٍ يُوطَأُ أَوْ يُتَطَرَّقُ وَ كَانَتْ فِيهِ جَادَّةٌ أَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ فَلاَ يَنْبَغِي اَلصَّلاَةُ فِيهِ» قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ أُصَلِّي فَقَالَ« يَمْنَةً وَ يَسْرَةً»
And from him, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl, who said:
(Imam عليه السلام) Al-Ridha عليه السلام said: "Every pathway that is walked upon or passed through, whether it has a main road (jadah) or not, it is not appropriate to pray in it." I asked: "Then where should I pray?" Imam عليه السلام said: "To the right or to the left (off the path)."
