Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُومِئُ فِي اَلْمَكْتُوبَةِ وَ اَلنَّوَافِلِ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ مَا يَسْجُدُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَوْضِعٌ يَسْجُدُ فِيهِ قَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ هَكَذَا فَلْيُومِ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ كُلِّهَا»
From him, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan from Amr ibn Sa'id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from Ammar Al-Sabati, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, about a man who gestures during the obligatory and supererogatory prayers when he does not find anything to prostrate upon and has no place to prostrate. Imam عليه السلام said: "If it is like that, then let him gesture throughout the entire prayer."
