Hadith #104

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي بَيْنَ اَلْقُبُورِ قَالَ« لاَ يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اَلْقُبُورِ إِذَا صَلَّى عَشَرَةَ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ عَشَرَةَ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ عَشَرَةَ أَذْرُعٍ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَشَرَةَ أَذْرُعٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي إِنْ شَاءَ»

Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali, from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from ‘Ammar al-Sabati, from Abu Abdillah , peace be upon him, who said: I asked Him about a man who prays among the graves. Imam said: "That is not permissible unless he places between himself and the graves, when he prays, a distance of ten cubits in front of him, ten cubits behind him, ten cubits to his right, and ten cubits to his left. Then he may pray if he wishes."
