Chapter on the Virtue of Mosques and Prayer Within Them, and the Virtue of Congregational Prayer and Its Rulings
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَجَّالِ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ خَلْفَ اَلْمُخَالِفِينَ فَقَالَ« فَمَا هُمْ عِنْدِي إِلاَّ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلْجُدُرِ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Abdillah ibn Muhammad al-Hajjal from Tha‘labah ibn Maymun who said:
I asked Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about prayer behind the opponents (al-mukhalifin). Imam عليه السلام said: “They are, in my view, nothing but like walls.” (meaning it holds no spiritual or religious value or relevance)
