وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «اَلَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اَللّٰهَ قِيٰاماً وَقُعُوداً» قَالَ« اَلصَّحِيحُ يُصَلِّي قَائِماً وَقُعُوداً اَلْمَرِيضُ يُصَلِّي جَالِساً« وَعَلىٰ جُنُوبِهِمْ» اَلَّذِي يَكُونُ أَضْعَفَ مِنَ اَلْمَرِيضِ اَلَّذِي يُصَلِّي جَالِساً»
And from him, from Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahbub, from Abu Hamzah:
Abu Ja’far عليه السلام (was asked) regarding the saying of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic: ‘Those who remember Allah سبحانه وتعالى standing, and sitting’ (Surah Al ‘Imran 3:191). Imam عليه السلام said: "The healthy one prays standing, and sitting refers to the sick person who prays while seated. ‘And on their sides’ refers to the one who is weaker than the sick person who prays sitting."
