أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَمَّ قَوْماً فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ وَ لَا يَخْرُجَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ حَتَّى يُتِمَّ الَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ الَّذِينَ سُبِقُوا صَلَاتَهُمْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى كُلِّ إِمَامٍ وَاجِبٌ إِذَا عَلِمَ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ مَسْبُوقاً وَ إِنْ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ مَسْبُوقٌ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَذْهَبْ حَيْثُ شَاءَ .
Translation
Ali, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Whichever man leads a group (in <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>), so upon him is that he sits after the greeting (<span class="iTxt">Salām</span>), and he does not go out from that place until those behind him have completed, those who preceded their <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>s. That is an Obligation upon every prayer leader when he knows that among them are preceded ones, and if he knows that there aren’t any preceded ones among them with the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, so let him go wherever he so desires to’.
