16ـ مُحَمَّدٌ عَنِ الْعَمْرَكِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي وَالسِّرَاجُ مَوْضُوعٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَقَالَ لاَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ النَّارَ وَرُوِيَ أَيْضاً أَنَّهُ لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ لأَنَّ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي لَهُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ.
16. Muhammad has narrated from al-‘Amrakiy from Ali ibn Ja‘far who has said the following:
“I once asked abu al-Hassan 
, about a man who performs Salah (prayer) with a lamp placed in his front in the direction of al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah). He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not proper for him to face fire.’ It is also narrated that it is not an offense because the One for whom Salah (prayer) is performed is closer to one (person performing Salah (prayer)).”’
