Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ هُوَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقُلْتُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ« اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ» قُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ فَسَكَتَ فَلَمَّا اِنْصَرَفَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ يَرُدُّ اَلسَّلاَمَ وَ هُوَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ« نَعَمْ مِثْلَ مَا قِيلَ لَهُ»
From him from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim from Muhammad ibn Muslim who said:
I entered upon Abu Ja'far, peace be upon him, while He عليه السلام was in prayer. I said: "Peace be upon you," And Imam عليه السلام replied: "Peace be upon you." I asked: "How did you wake up?" But Imam عليه السلام remained silent, and when He عليه السلام finished, I said to Imam عليه السلام: "Does one return the salam while in prayer?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, in the manner it was said to him."
