Al-Husayn ibn Said from Ibn Abi Umayr from Umar ibn Udhaynah from Ali ibn Said al-Basri, he said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “I am residing among Bani Adi, and their muadhdhin and imam (of prayer) and all the people of the mosque are Uthmanis, they disassociate themselves from you (Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام) and your Shiah, and I am living among them. What do you say regarding prayer behind their imam (of prayer)?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Pray behind him.” He (al-Basri) said: “Imam عليه السلام then said to me: ‘And seek reward for what you hear. And if you were to go to Basrah, al-Fudayl ibn Yasar would surely ask you, and you would inform him of what I have issued to you as a verdict and then you would follow al-Fudayl’s word and leave mine.’” Ali (al-Basri) said: “So I went to Basrah and informed al-Fudayl of what Imam عليه السلام had said. He (al-Fudayl) replied: “Imam عليه السلام knows better what he said, but I have heard Him عليه السلام and I have heard his father (Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام) both saying: ‘Do not count the prayer behind a nasib (known enemy of the Ahlulbayt عليه السلام), and recite to yourself as if you were alone.’” He (al-Basri) said: “So I followed the statement of al-Fudayl and left the statement of Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him.”
