وَ رَوَى هَارُونُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ اَلْغَنَوِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلْخُرُوجُ يَوْمَ اَلْفِطْرِ وَ اَلْأَضْحَى إِلَى اَلْجَبَّانَةِ حَسَنٌ لِمَنِ اِسْتَطَاعَ اَلْخُرُوجَ إِلَيْهَا» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ مَرِيضاً لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ أَ يُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِهِ فَقَالَ «لاَ.
Harun ibn Hamzah al-Ghanawi narrates from Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Going out on the day of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to the open area (for prayer) is good for whoever is able to go." Harun asked: "What if a person is sick and unable to go out, should he pray at home?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "No."
