قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ دَخَلَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ وَ هُوَ لَا يَنْوِيهَا صَلَاةً فَأَحْدَثَ إِمَامُهُمْ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ فَقَدَّمَهُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ أَ يُجْزِئُهُمْ صَلَاتُهُمْ بِصَلَاتِهِ وَ هُوَ لَا يَنْوِيهَا صَلَاةً فَقَالَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ وَ هُوَ لَا يَنْوِيهَا صَلَاةً بَلْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَنْوِيَهَا صَلَاةً فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى فَإِنَّ لَهُ صَلَاةً أُخْرَى وَ إِلَّا فَلَا يَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ قَدْ يُجْزِئُ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ صَلَاتُهُمْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَنْوِهَا .
Translation
From him, from Al Fazl, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man enters with a group into their <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> and he does not intend it to be a <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. So their Imam breaks his ablution, and he grabs the hand of that man and moves him forward for him so lead <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> with them. Would their <span class="iTxt">Salāts</span> be sufficed by his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> and he did not intend it to be in a <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not befitting for the man that he enters with a group into their <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> and he does not intend it to be in a <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, but, it is befitting for him that he intends it as a <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. Then, if it was so that he had already prayed <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, so it would be another <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> for him, or else, so he should not enter with them. It would have sufficed from the group, their <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, and even if he did not intend it as so’.
