Chapter on the Virtue of Mosques and Prayer Within Them, and the Virtue of Congregational Prayer and Its Rulings

اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ:« لاَ يَضُرُّكَ أَنْ تَتَأَخَّرَ وَرَاءَكَ إِذَا وَجَدْتَ ضِيقاً فِي اَلصَّفِّ فَتَتَأَخَّرُ إِلَى اَلصَّفِّ اَلَّذِي خَلْفَكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ فِي صَفٍّ فَأَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَتَقَدَّمَ قُدَّامَكَ فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تَمْشِيَ إِلَيْهِ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id from al-Hasan from Zur'ah from Sama'ah from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “It does not harm you to move back behind you if you find crowding in the row, so you move back to the row that is behind you. And if you are in a row and you wish to move forward to the row in front of you, then there is no harm in walking to it.”
