سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَ السِّرَاجُ مَوْضُوعٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَقَالَ لَا يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ النَّارَ وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً أَنَّهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ لِأَنَّ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي لَهُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Muhammad, from Al Amraky, (It has been narrated) from Ali son of Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who prays and the lantern is in a place in front of him towards the Qiblah. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not correct for him if he faces the fire’. And it is reported as well that: ‘There is no problem with it because the One<sup>azwj</sup> Who he is praying <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> to is closer to him than that’.
