سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي خَلْفَ إِمَامٍ يَقْتَدِي بِهِ فِي صَلاَةٍ يُجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَلاَ يَسْمَعُ اَلْقِرَاءَةَ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ إِنْ صَمَتَ وَ إِنْ قَرَأَ»
Sa’ad ibn Abdillah from Abi Ja’far from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin, who said:
I asked Aba al-Hasan al-Awwal عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who prays behind an imam (of prayer) whom he follows in a prayer in which the recitation is done aloud, but he does not hear the recitation. Imam عليه السلام said: “There is no problem whether he remains silent or recites.”
