قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ مَوَالِيَكَ قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا فَأُصَلِّي خَلْفَهُمْ جَمِيعاً فَقَالَ لَا تُصَلِّ إِلَّا خَلْفَ مَنْ تَثِقُ بِدِينِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ لِي مَوَالٍ فَقُلْتُ أَصْحَابٌ فَقَالَ مُبَادِراً قَبْلَ أَنْ أَسْتَتِمَّ ذِكْرَهُمْ لَا يَأْمُرُكَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَدِيدٍ بِهَذَا أَوْ هَذَا مِمَّا يَأْمُرُكَ بِهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَدِيدٍ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Abu Ali Bin Rashid who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The ones in your<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah are differing, so can I pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> behind them all?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> except behind the one whom you trust in his Religion’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And for me<sup>asws</sup> there are ones in the Wilayah’. So I said, ‘Companions?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said initiating, before I completed their mention: ‘No. Did Ali Bin Hadeed instruct you with this, or is this from what you have been instructed by Ali Bin Hadeed?’ So I said, ‘Yes’.
