عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْأَرَّجَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« مَنْ صَلَّى فِي مَنْزِلِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَى مَسْجِداً مِنْ مَسَاجِدِهِمْ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ خَرَجَ بِحَسَنَاتِهِمْ»
From him, from al-Haytham ibn Waqid, from al-Hasan ibn Abdillah al-Arrajani, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “Whoever prays in his house, then comes to one of their (opponent) mosques and prays in it, he departs with their good deeds.” (meaning to promote strategic use of taqiyyah to preserve life and faith)
