The One Praying Who Needs to Relieve Himself

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا اَلْأَعْوَرِ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُصَلِّي قَائِماً وَ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ رَجُلٌ كَبِيرٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقُومَ وَ مَعَهُ عَصًا لَهُ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَنَاوَلَهَا فَانْحَطَّ أَبُو اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَنَاوَلَ اَلرَّجُلَ اَلْعَصَا ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ إِلَى صَلاَتِهِ.
It was narrated by Abu Zakariya al-Awra : "I saw Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام praying while standing, and beside him was an elderly man who wanted to stand up and had a stick with him. The man wanted to take the stick, so Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, while still standing in his prayer, bent down and handed the man the stick. Then he returned to his place and resumed his prayer."
