Performing Salah (Prayer) Inside Ka’bah, on its Top, al-Biya 4, Churches and Places where Performing Salah (prayer) Is Undesirable

14ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الصَّرْمِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قُلْتُ إِنِّي أَخْرُجُ فِي هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَوْضِعٌ أُصَلِّي فِيهِ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَمْكَنَكَ أَنْ لاَ تَسْجُدَ عَلَى الثَّلْجِ فَلاَ تَسْجُدْ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُمْكِنْكَ فَسَوِّهِ وَاسْجُدْ عَلَيْهِ. وَفِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ اسْجُدْ عَلَى ثَوْبِكَ.
14. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Dawud al-Sarmiy who has said the following: “I once said to abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, ‘I may go in this direction and may not find a place to perform Salah (prayer) because of snow. He (the Imam) said, ‘If possible, do not perform Sajdah (prostration) on snow and if not, then level it and perform Sajdah (prostration) on it.’” In another Hadith it is said, ‘Perform Sajdah (prostration) on your clothes.’”
