Original Arabic text

[329/1] امالي الصدوق: ابن الوليد، عن الصفار، عن ابن معروف، عن علي بن مهزيار قال: كتبت إلى أبي جعفر الثاني عليه السلام: جعلت فداك اصلي خلف من يقول بالجسم، ومن يقول بقول يونس - يعني ابن عبد الرحمن؟ فكتب عليه السلام لا تصلوا خلفهم ولا تعطوهم من الزكاة وابرؤوا منهم، برأ الله منهم

Published English translation

1. [1/329] Amali of al-Saduq: Ibn al-Walid from al-Saffar from Ibn Ma’ruf from Ali b. Mahziyar who said: I wrote to Abi Ja’far the Second عليه السلام: May I be made your ransom - should I pray behind the one who asserts (the doctrine of) ‘the body’ (God is corporeal) or the one who subscribes to the doctrine of Yunus - that is the son of Abd al-Rahman? He عليه السلام wrote: Do not pray behind them nor not give them anything of the Zakat. Disassociate from them. Allah has disassociated from them.

verification Note
Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
