وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ اَلْقَصَبَانِيِّ وَ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ اَلْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ اَلْجَرِيرِيِّ عَنِ اَلْعَرْزَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَ اَلْحَدِيثَ إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ:« مَنْ أَمَّ قَوْماً وَ فِيهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ أَمْرُهُمْ إِلَى اَلسَّفَالِ إِلَى يَوْمِ اَلْقِيَامَةِ»

Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: “Whoever leads a group in prayer while there is among them someone more knowledgeable than him, their affair will continuously decline until the Day of Resurrection.”
