Chapter on What is Permissible to Pray in, from Clothing and Place, and What is Not Permissible to Pray in, from That
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مُصْحَفٌ مَفْتُوحٌ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ قَالَ« لاَ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي غِلاَفٍ قَالَ« نَعَمْ» وَ قَالَ« لاَ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّجُلُ وَ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ نَارٌ أَوْ حَدِيدٌ» قُلْتُ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِجْمَرَةُ شَبَهٍ قَالَ« نَعَمْ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهَا نَارٌ فَلاَ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى يُنَحِّيَهَا عَنْ قِبْلَتِهِ» وَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قِنْدِيلٌ مُعَلَّقٌ وَ فِيهِ نَارٌ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ بِحِيَالِهِ قَالَ« إِذَا اِرْتَفَعَ كَانَ شَرّاً لاَ يُصَلِّي بِحِيَالِهِ»
Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from ‘Imran ibn Musa and Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali, from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammar al-Sabati:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding a man who prays while there is an open Qur'an (mushaf) in front of him in the direction of the Qiblah. Imam عليه السلام said: "No." I asked: "What if it is in a cover?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes." And Imam عليه السلام said: "A man should not pray while there is fire or iron in his (direction of) Qiblah." I asked: "Can he pray while there is a brass incense burner (mijmarah shabah) in front of him?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, but if it contains fire, then he should not pray until he moves it away from his (direction of) Qiblah." And (Imam عليه السلام said) about a man who prays while there is a hanging lamp (qindil) in front of him with fire in it, but it is level with him. Imam عليه السلام said: "If it is raised high, it is worse, he should not pray directly in line with it."
