Chapter on the Qiblah (Direction of Prayer)

الحسين بن سعيد عن الحسن عن زرعة عن سماعة قال سألته عن الصلاة بالليل والنهار إذا لم تر الشمس ولا القمر ولا النجوم قال تجتهد رأيك وتعمد القبلة جهدك
Narrated by al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from al-Hasan from Zur’ah from Sama’ah, who said: I asked Him عليه السلام about prayer during the night and day when neither the sun, nor the moon, nor the stars are visible. Imam عليه السلام said: "Exert your reasoning and aim toward the qiblah as best you can."
