Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible to Pray in - of Clothing and Place
عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلسَّلاَمِ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي اَلَّذِي تُدْرِكُهُ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَ هُوَ فَوْقَ اَلْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ« إِنْ قَامَ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ قِبْلَةٌ وَلَكِنْ يَسْتَلْقِي عَلَى قَفَاهُ وَ يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ وَيَعْقِدُ بِقَلْبِهِ اَلْقِبْلَةَ اَلَّتِي فِي اَلسَّمَاءِ اَلْبَيْتَ اَلْمَعْمُورَ وَ يَقْرَأُ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ غَمَّضَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ اَلسُّجُودُ عَلَى نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ»
Ali ibn Muhammad, from Ishaq ibn Muhammad, from Abd Al-Salam:
(Imam) Al-Ridha, peace be upon him, (was asked) regarding one who is overtaken by the time of prayer while he is above the Ka‘bah. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he stands, he will have no Qiblah; rather, he should lie on his back and raise his eyes toward the sky and direct his heart toward the Qiblah that is in the heavens, the ‘Bayt al-Ma‘mur’, and recite. When he intends to bow, he should close his eyes, and when he wants to raise his head from bowing, he should open his eyes. And the prostration is to be done in the same manner."
