وَعَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى رَفَعَهُ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْإِمَامُ يَحْمِلُ أَوْهَامَ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ إِلاَّ تَكْبِيرَةَ اَلاِفْتِتَاحِ»
And from him, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, who transmitted it with an elevated chain from al-Ridha عليه السلام: (Imam عليه السلام) said: "The imam (of prayer) bears the mistakes of those behind him, except for the Takbirat al-Iftitah (the opening Takbir)."
