وَعَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا كُنْتَ خَلْفَ إِمَامٍ تَأْتَمُّ بِهِ فَأَنْصِتْ وَ سَبِّحْ فِي نَفْسِكَ»
And from him, from Ali from his father from Hammad ibn Isa from Hariz from Zurarah from one of the two (Imams عليه السلام), peace be upon them, who said: Imam عليه السلام said: “If you are behind an imam (of prayer) whom you are following, then remain silent and glorify (Allah سبحانه وتعالى) in yourself.”
