9ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَاسَانِيِّ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَقَدِ ازْدَحَمَ النَّاسُ فَكَبَّرَ مَعَ الإِمَامِ وَرَكَعَ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى السُّجُودِ وَقَامَ الإِمَامُ وَالنَّاسُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَقَامَ هَذَا مَعَهُمْ فَرَكَعَ الإِمَامُ وَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ هَذَا عَلَى الرُّكُوعِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنَ الزِّحَامِ وَقَدَرَ عَلَى السُّجُودِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَمَّا الرَّكْعَةُ الأولَى فَهِيَ إِلَى عِنْدِ الرُّكُوعِ تَامَّةٌ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَسْجُدْ لَهَا حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ إِنْ كَانَ نَوَى هَذِهِ السَّجْدَةَ الَّتِي هِيَ الرَّكْعَةُ الأولَى فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ لَهُ الأولَى وَإِذَا سَلَّمَ الإِمَامُ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ فِيهَا ثُمَّ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَيُسَلِّمُ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَمْ يَنْوِ أَنْ تَكُونَ تِلْكَ السَّجْدَةُ لِلرَّكْعَةِ الأولَى لَمْ تُجْزِ عَنْهُ الأولَى وَلاَ الثَّانِيَةُ.

Published English translation

9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from and Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasaniy from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Minqariy from Hafs ibn al-Ghiyath who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘If a man attends Friday in a dense crowd when the Imam says Takbir (Allah is great beyond description) and performs Ruku‘ (bowing down on one’s knees), this man also performs Ruku‘ but cannot perform Sajdah (prostration). The Imam and the people stand up for the second Rak‘at and he also stands up with them, then the Imam performs Ruku‘, but he cannot perform Ruku‘ in the second Rak‘at because of crowd but he performs Sajdah (prostration). What is he required to perform?’Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said that the first Rak‘at is complete in Ruku‘. He did not perform Sajdah (prostration) until the second Rak‘at, this he has missed. He has performed Sajdah (prostration) in the second Rak‘at; if he intended it to be the Sajdah (prostration) for the first Rak‘at, the first Rak‘at becomes complete for him, and when the Imam says Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace), he stands up to performs one Rak‘at.
