مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ اَلْغَنَوِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي اَلسَّفِينَةِ فَقَالَ« إِذَا كَانَتْ مُحَمَّلَةً ثَقِيلَةً إِذَا قُمْتَ فِيهَا لَمْ تَتَحَرَّكْ فَصَلِّ قَائِماً وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ خَفِيفَةً تَكَفَّأُ فَصَلِّ قَاعِداً»
Muhammad ibn Yaqub from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Yazid ibn Ishaq from Harun ibn Hamzah al-Ghanawi from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him. He said:
I asked Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام about prayer on a boat. Imam عليه السلام said: “If it is loaded and heavy, such that when you stand in it, it does not sway, then pray standing. But if it is light and sways, then pray sitting.”
