عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمْدَوَيْهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ سَأَلَهُ إِنْسَانٌ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ تُدْرِكُهُ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَهُوَ فِي مَاءٍ يَخُوضُهُ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ فِي حَرْبٍ أَوْ فِي سَبِيلٍ مِنْ سُبُلِ اَللَّهِ فَلْيُومِ إِيمَاءً وَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي تِجَارَةٍ فَلَمْ يَكُ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَخُوضَ اَلْمَاءَ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ« يَقْضِيهَا إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ وَ قَدْ ضَيَّعَ»
From him, he said: Hamdawayh narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Abu Ayyub, from Isma‘il ibn Jabir, who said:
I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, and a man asked Imam عليه السلام about a person who is overtaken by the time of prayer while he is wading through water and is unable to reach dry ground. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he is in battle or on a path of Allah سبحانه وتعالى cause, then let him gesture in prayer. But if he is engaged in trade, then it was not proper for him to wade into the water until he had prayed." I asked: “And what should he do?” Imam عليه السلام said: "He should make up the prayer when he comes out of the water, and he has indeed neglected it."
