مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَ قَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلصَّبِيُّ عَنْ يَمِينِ اَلرَّجُلِ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ إِذَا ضَبَطَ اَلصَّفَّ جَمَاعَةٌ وَ اَلْمَرِيضُ اَلْقَاعِدُ عَنْ يَمِينِ اَلصَّبِيِّ جَمَاعَةٌ»
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from his father from Abu al-Bukhturi from Imam Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “Indeed, Imam Ali عليه السلام, said: ‘The child stands to the right of the man in prayer if the row is properly formed that is considered congregation. And the seated sick person sits to the right of the child that is also considered congregation.’”
