One Who Goes to Sleep Before Performing Salah (Prayer) or Forgets

6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَسِيَ الظُّهْرَ حَتَّى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَقَدْ كَانَ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَوْ كَانَ أَبِي (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنْ أَمْكَنَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَفُوتَهُ الْمَغْرِبُ بَدَأَ بِهَا وَإِلاَّ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ صَلاَّهَا.
6. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about a man who forgets al-Dhuhr until it is sunset and has performed al-‘Asr. He (the Imam) said, ‘Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, or my father would say, “If he can perform Qada’ (compensatory prayer) for it before the time for al-Maghrib ends, he must do so, otherwise, he performs al-Maghrib then Qada’ (compensatory prayer) for that which is missed.’”
