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

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْأَعْمَى يَؤُمُّ اَلْقَوْمَ وَ هُوَ عَلَى غَيْرِ اَلْقِبْلَةِ قَالَ« يُعِيدُ وَ لاَ يُعِيدُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ تَحَرَّوْا»
Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabi from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked regarding a blind man leading the people in prayer while not facing the qiblah. Imam عليه السلام said: “He must repeat the prayer, but they do not, for they made an effort to determine the direction.”
