Hadith 83

k’u and your Sajdah like what you do when you pray alone, and your praying Salat alone is better’. He said, ‘And I asked him-asws about the standing behind the prayer leader in the row, ‘What is its limit? ’
He-asws said: ‘Stand as long as you can. When you are seated, and the space is constricted, then either go forward or back, there is no problem’. He said, ‘And I asked him-asws about the man being in his Salat in the row, ‘Is it correct for him to go ahead to the second or to the third, or go back behind to the side of another row? ’
He-asws said: ‘When he sees a gap, there is no problem with it’’. [124]
Explanation (Hadeeth only) – And in the correct (Hadeeth) by Abdul Rahman (in Al Tahzeeb): ‘Pray Salat with your family in Ramazan – the obligatory and the optional’’. And it is reported the going forward and backward as well by Ali son of Ja’far-asws, and in the report by Muhammad Bin Muslim (in Al-Tahzeeb) who said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘Can the man moves back while he is in the Salat’. He-asws said: ‘No! ’ I said, ‘Can he move forward? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, walking towards the Qiblah’’. (The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnaad’ – from Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan, from his grandfather, ‘Ali son of Ja’far-asws, from his brother Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, he said, ‘I asked him-asws about the man leading (a group in Salat) without wearing a cloak. He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww had led being in one cloth, wrapping with it’’. [125]
Explanation – The well-known between the companions is dislike of the leadership without wearing a robe, and they argue upon it with a correct (Hadeeth) by Suleyman Bin Khalid (in Al-Kafi), said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about a man leading a group in a shirt not having a robe upon him. He-asws said: ‘It is not befitting except there happens to be a robe upon him or a turban he adorns with’’. And rather it evidence’s upon dislike upon the leadership without the robe, (praying) in the shirt alone, not absolutely. And it is supported by (the Hadeeth in the book) ‘Al-Ikhtisas’ words of Abu Ja’far-asws when he-asws led his-asws companions in a shirt without a robe: ‘My-asws shirt is thick, so it suffices me-asws if there neither happens to be a wrapping upon me-asws nor a robe! ’’
(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy – by his chain, ‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws had prayed behind Marwan Bin Al-Hakam. They said to one of the two (Al-Hassan-asws or Al-Husayn-asws), ‘Your-asws father-asws was not praying when he-asws returned to the house? ’
He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj, he-asws did not increase upon a Salat’’. [126] (vague and inconclusive recording)
(The book) ‘Al Durr Al Bahira’ –
‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 3rd: ‘When it were to be the era in which justice is more prevalent than the tyranny (era of Al-Qaim-ajfj), it will be prohibited to thing evil with anyone until he knows that (being true) from him; and when it were to be the era in which the tyranny is more prevalent than the justice, it isn’t for anyone to think good with anyone until that (goodness) appears from him’’.
