Chapter on Miscellaneous Narrations Regarding Tawaf.
وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلنُّعْمَانِ عَنْ يَحْيَى اَلْأَزْرَقِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي طُفْتُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ فَعَيِيتُ أَ فَأُصَلِّي رَكَعَاتِهَا وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ قَالَ «لاَ» قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي اَلرَّجُلُ صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ إِذَا أَعْيَا أَوْ وَجَدَ فَتْرَةً وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ «يَطُوفُ اَلرَّجُلُ جَالِساً » فَقُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ «فَتُصَلِّيهِمَا وَ أَنْتَ قَائِمٌ».
Ali ibn al-Nu'man narrated from Yahya al-Azraq, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام: "I performed four circuits of circumambulation and became tired. Should I pray the associated two units of prayer while sitting?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "No." I asked: "And how should a person pray the night prayer if he becomes tired or feels weakness while sitting?" Imam عليه السلام said: "A person circumambulates while sitting." I said: "No." Imam عليه السلام replied: "Then perform the prayer while standing."
