Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو اَلْقَاسِمِ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَعْبَثُ بِذَكَرِهِ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ اَلْمَكْتُوبَةِ قَالَ« وَ مَا لَهُ فِعْلٌ» قُلْتُ عَبِثَ بِهِ حَتَّى مَسَّهُ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ»
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Al-Abbas ibn Ma'ruf from Abdullah ibn Al-Mughira who said: Abu Al-Qasim Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated to me from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I said to Imam عليه السلام: “A man plays with his private part during the obligatory prayer.” Imam عليه السلام said: "And what action is that?" I said: “He played with it until he touched it with his hand.” Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm."
