8. It is a narration from him (narrator of previous Hadith) by al-Fadl and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following
“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a man who comes to a people during their Salah (prayer) and he is not intending it to be Salah (prayer). Their Imam faces invalidation of his Wudu’ and holds the hand of this man and makes him to lead. He performs Salah (prayer) with them. Is his Salah (prayer) sufficient to complete their Salah (prayer) while he has not intended it to be Salah (prayer)? He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not proper for a man to come to a people in their Salah (prayer) and not intend it to be Salah (prayer). It is proper for him to intend it to be Salah (prayer). If he has already performed Salah (prayer) he has another Salah (prayer). Otherwise, he must not come to them; their Salah (prayer) is sufficient for them even if he did not intend it to be Salah (prayer).”’
8ـ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) رَجُلٌ دَخَلَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فِي صَلاَتِهِمْ وَهُوَ لاَ يَنْوِيهَا صَلاَةً فَأَحْدَثَ إِمَامُهُمْ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ فَقَدَّمَهُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ أَ يُجْزِئُهُمْ صَلاَتُهُمْ بِصَلاَتِهِ وَهُوَ لاَ يَنْوِيهَا صَلاَةً فَقَالَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فِي صَلاَتِهِمْ وَهُوَ لاَ يَنْوِيهَا صَلاَةً بَلْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنْوِيَهَا صَلاَةً فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى فَإِنَّ لَهُ صَلاَةً أُخْرَى وَ إِلاَّ فَلاَ يَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ قَدْ يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ صَلاَتُهُمْ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْوِهَا.
