Chapter on Times of Prayer and Sign of Each of Its Times

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَ قَالَ:« إِنَّا لَنُقَدِّمُ وَ نُؤَخِّرُ وَ لَيْسَ كَمَا يُقَالُ مَنْ أَخْطَأَ وَقْتَ اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقَدْ هَلَكَ وَ إِنَّمَا اَلرُّخْصَةُ لِلنَّاسِي وَ اَلْمَرِيضِ وَ اَلْمُدْنِفِ وَ اَلْمُسَافِرِ وَ اَلنَّائِمِ فِي تَأْخِيرِهَا»
And from him, from Isma‘il ibn Sahl from Hammad from Rib‘i: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “Indeed, we advance and delay (the prayer), and it is not as people say: ‘Whoever misses the time of prayer has perished.’ Rather, there is a concession for the one who forgets, the sick person, the severely ill, the traveller, and the one asleep, in delaying it.”
