وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ تُصَلِّ خَلْفَ اَلْغَالِي وَ إِنْ كَانَ يَقُولُ بِقَوْلِكَ وَ اَلْمَجْهُولِ وَ اَلْمُجَاهِرِ بِالْفِسْقِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مُقْتَصِداً»
And from him, from Muhammad ibn Isa from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin from Amru ibn Ibrahim from Khalaf ibn Hammad from a man from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “Do not pray behind the extremist (al-ghali), even if he claims your belief; nor behind the unknown (al-majhul); nor behind one who openly commits immorality (al-mujahir bil-fisq), even if he is moderate.”
