Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub from Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, from his father عليه السلام, he said: The Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “The one who is restrained (in chains) does not lead those who are free, nor does one afflicted with paralysis lead those who are healthy, nor does the one performing tayammum lead those who have performed wudu’, and the blind man does not lead (prayer) in the open desert unless he is directed toward the qiblah.”
