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 مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْعَمْرَكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ اَلسِّرَاجُ مَوْضُوعٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فِي اَلْقِبْلَةِ فَقَالَ« لاَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ اَلنَّارَ»
And from him, from Muhammad, from al-‘Amraki, from Ali ibn Ja‘far, from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I asked Him عليه السلام about a man praying while a lamp (siraj) is placed in front of him in the direction of the Qiblah. Imam عليه السلام said: "It is not proper for him to face the fire."
