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

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ أَ يَقْطَعُ صَلاَتَهُ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا يَمُرُّ بِهِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ« لاَ يَقْطَعُ صَلاَةَ اَلْمُسْلِمِ شَيْءٌ وَ لَكِنِ اِدْرَأْ مَا اِسْتَطَعْتَ» قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ رَعَفَ وَ لَمْ يَرْقَ رُعَافُهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ وَقْتُ اَلصَّلاَةِ قَالَ« يَحْشُو أَنْفَهُ بِشَيْءٍ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي وَ لاَ يُطِيلُ إِنْ خَشِيَ أَنْ يَسْبِقَهُ اَلدَّمُ» قَالَ وَ قَالَ« إِذَا اِلْتَفَتَّ فِي صَلاَةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ فَرَاغٍ فَأَعِدِ اَلصَّلاَةَ إِذَا كَانَ اَلاِلْتِفَاتُ فَاحِشاً وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ تَشَهَّدْتَ فَلاَ تُعِدْ»
peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man, does anything that passes in front of him cut off his prayer? Imam عليه السلام said: "Nothing cuts the prayer of a Muslim, but repel as much as you are able." He (al Halabi) said: “And I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who experiences a nosebleed and the bleeding does not stop until the time of prayer enters.” Imam عليه السلام said: "He should stuff his nose with something and then pray, and he should not prolong the prayer if he fears that the blood will precede him." He (al Halabi) said: “And Imam عليه السلام said: ‘If you turn away during an obligatory prayer without completing it, then repeat the prayer if the turning was excessive; but if you have already recited the tashahhud, then do not repeat.’"
