3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Talhah ibn Zayd who has said the following
“When abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), performed Salah (prayer) for a deceased man and a deceased woman, he (the Imam) would set forward woman, then the man. In the case of a slave and a free person, he (the Imam) would set forward the slave, then the free: and in the case of grown up and a minor, he set forward the minor then the grown up.”
3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ وَالرَّجُلِ قَدَّمَ الْمَرْأَةَ وَأَخَّرَ الرَّجُلَ وَإِذَا صَلَّى عَلَى الْعَبْدِ وَالْحُرِّ قَدَّمَ الْعَبْدَ وَأَخَّرَ الْحُرَّ وَإِذَا صَلَّى عَلَى الْكَبِيرِ وَالصَّغِيرِ قَدَّمَ الصَّغِيرَ وَأَخَّرَ الْكَبِيرَ.
