وَعَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« اَلْإِمَامُ يُسَلِّمُ وَاحِدَةً وَمَنْ وَرَاءَهُ يُسَلِّمُ اِثْنَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ أَحَدٌ سَلَّمَ وَاحِدَةً»
And from him, from Safwan, from Mansur, who said: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “The imam says one ‘taslim’, and those behind him say two ‘taslims’. But if there is no one on his left, then he says one ‘taslim’.”
