2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin said, ‘One bonded cannot lead in Salah (prayer) those who are free, one paralyzed cannot lead those in good health, one with Tayammum cannot lead those with Wudu’, a blind cannot lead others in the wilderness unless directed to al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah).’”
2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لاَ يَؤُمُّ الْمُقَيَّدُ الْمُطْلَقِينَ وَلاَ يَؤُمُّ صَاحِبُ الْفَالِجِ الأصِحَّاءَ وَلاَ صَاحِبُ التَّيَمُّمِ الْمُتَوَضِّينَ وَلاَ يَؤُمُّ الأعْمَى فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ.
