Hadith #41

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي خَلْفَ مَنْ لاَ يَقْتَدِي بِصَلاَتِهِ وَ اَلْإِمَامُ يَجْهَرُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ قَالَ« اِقْرَأْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تُسْمِعْ نَفْسَكَ فَلاَ بَأْسَ»

Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin from his brother al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin from their father Ali ibn Yaqtin, who said: I asked Aba al-Hasan , peace be upon him, about a man who prays behind someone whose prayer he does not follow, and the imam (of prayer) recites aloud. Imam said: “Recite for yourself, and if you do not make yourself hear it, then there is no problem.”
