مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« خَمْسَةٌ لاَ يَؤُمُّونَ اَلنَّاسَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ اَلْمَجْذُومُ وَ اَلْأَبْرَصُ وَ اَلْمَجْنُونُ وَ وَلَدُ اَلزِّنَا وَ اَلْأَعْرَابِيُّ»
What was narrated by Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub from a group from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from al-Husayn ibn Uthman from Ibn Muskan from Abu Basir from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, he said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “Five individuals are never to lead the people in prayer under any circumstance; the leper, the one with vitiligo, the insane, the child of fornication, and the Bedouin.”
