Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَكُونُ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ فَتَحْضُرُ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَأَخَافُ اَلرَّمْضَاءَ عَلَى وَجْهِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ قَالَ« تَسْجُدُ عَلَى بَعْضِ ثَوْبِكَ» قُلْتُ لَيْسَ عَلَيَّ ثَوْبٌ يُمْكِنُنِي أَنْ أَسْجُدَ عَلَى طَرَفِهِ وَ لاَ ذَيْلِهِ قَالَ« اُسْجُدْ عَلَى ظَهْرِ كَفِّكَ فَإِنَّهَا إِحْدَى اَلْمَسَاجِدِ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id from Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah from Abu Basir from Abu Ja'far, peace be upon him, who said:
I said to Imam عليه السلام: “I am on a journey and the time for prayer arrives, and I fear the scorching ground for my face. What should I do?” Imam عليه السلام said: "Prostrate upon part of your garment." I asked: “I do not have a garment with me whose edge or hem I can prostrate upon.” Imam عليه السلام said: "Prostrate on back of your hand, for it is one of places of prostration."
