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

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ اَلْجَهْمِ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« تَؤُمُّ اَلْمَرْأَةُ اَلنِّسَاءَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ تَقُومُ وَسَطاً مِنْهُنَّ وَ يَقُمْنَ عَنْ يَمِينِهَا وَ شِمَالِهَا تَؤُمُّهُنَّ فِي اَلنَّافِلَةِ وَ لاَ تَؤُمُّهُنَّ فِي اَلْمَكْتُوبَةِ»
From him, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamid from al-Hasan ibn al-Jahm from Ibn Muskan from al-Halabi from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “A woman leads women in prayer and stands in the middle of them, and they stand on her right and her left. She leads them in the recommended (nafilah) prayer and does not lead them in the obligatory (maktoobah) prayer.”
