أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَمَّنَا فِي اَلسَّفَرِ وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ وَ قَدْ عَلِمَ وَ نَحْنُ لاَ نَعْلَمُ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa narrated from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Abdillah ibn Bukayr; and al-Husayn ibn Said narrated from Fadalah ibn Ayyub, from Abdillah ibn Bukayr, who said:
Hamzah ibn Humran asked Aba Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who led us in prayer during travel while he was in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity), and he knew (of his condition) while we did not know. Imam عليه السلام said: “There is no problem.” (meaning those who prayed behind him are not required to repeat it)
