اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ اَلْخَزَّازِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ بْنِ عَوَّاضٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِنْ كُنْتَ تَؤُمُّ قَوْماً أَجْزَأَكَ تَسْلِيمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ مَعَ إِمَامٍ فَتَسْلِيمَتَيْنِ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ وَحْدَكَ فَوَاحِدَةً مُسْتَقْبِلَ اَلْقِبْلَةِ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Ibrahim al-Khazzaz, from Abd al-Hamid ibn ‘Awwad:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “If you are leading a group in prayer, one ‘taslim’ to your right suffices. If you are praying behind an imam, then (you do) two ‘taslims’. And if you are alone, then one ‘taslim’ facing the qiblah suffices.”
