سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي فِي زَاوِيَةِ الْحُجْرَةِ وَ امْرَأَتُهُ أَوِ ابْنَتُهُ تُصَلِّي بِحِذَاهُ فِي الزَّاوِيَةِ الْأُخْرَى فَقَالَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا شِبْرٌ أَجْزَأَهُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ وَ الْمَرْأَةِ يَتَزَامَلَانِ فِي الْمَحْمِلِ يُصَلِّيَانِ جَمِيعاً فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ فَإِذَا صَلَّى صَلَّتِ الْمَرْأَةُ.
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who is praying <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in a corner of the room, and his wife or his daughter is praying <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> by his side in the other corner. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is not befitting for him. But if there was one palm’s width (of distance between the two, so it would suffice him’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man and the woman accompanying each other in the carriage, praying <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> together. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but the man should pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> (first). So when he has prayed, the woman would pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>’.
