وَعَنْهُ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْعَبْدِ يَؤُمُّ اَلْقَوْمَ إِذَا رَضُوا بِهِ وَ كَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ قُرْآناً قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ»
And from him, from Hammad, from Hariz, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said:
I asked Aba Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a servant (abd) leading the people in prayer if they are content with him and he is the most versed among them in the Qur’an. Imam عليه السلام said: “There is no problem with it.”
