أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ اَلْمَدَائِنِيِّ: أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مَنْ يَسْأَلُ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى إِلَى جَانِبِ رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَعْلَمُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ ثُمَّ عَلِمَ هُوَ وَ هُوَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ قَالَ« يُحَوِّلُهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Ashyam from al-Husayn ibn Yasar al-Mada’ini:
He (al-Mada’ini) heard someone ask Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who prayed beside another man and stood to his left without knowing what to do then he realized (the mistake) while still in the prayer. Imam عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “He should move him to his right.”
