Chapter on the Rulings of Congregational Prayer (the Minimum Number for Congregational Prayer, the Description of the Imam, Who Is to Be Followed and Who Is Not to Be Followed, Recitation Behind Both of Them, the Rulings of Those Led in Prayer, and Other Such Rulings Related to It)
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَوْرُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ: إِنَّ إِمَامَكَ شَفِيعُكَ إِلَى اَللَّهِ فَلاَ تَجْعَلْ شَفِيعَكَ سَفِيهاً وَ لاَ فَاسِقاً.
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya from al-Abbas ibn Maruf from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Talhah ibn Zayd, who said: Thawr ibn Ghaylan narrated to us from Abu Dharr, who said:
(Abu Dharr said) “Indeed, your ‘imam’ (of prayer) is your intercessor before Allah سبحانه وتعالى, so do not make your intercessor someone foolish or immoral (fasiq).”
