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

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ صَاعِدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ اَلشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« لاَ يَؤُمُّ اَلْأَعْمَى فِي اَلْبَرِيَّةِ وَ لاَ يَؤُمُّ اَلْمُقَيَّدُ اَلْمُطْلَقِينَ»
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ghiyath from Sa’id ibn Muslim from al-Sha‘bi who said: Imam Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “A blind man does not lead in prayer in the open land, and a shackled person does not lead those who are free.”
