Chapter on the Prayer of the Drowning Person, the One Who Is Alone, and the One in Necessity, and Other Such Cases
وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ وَ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا حَدُّ اَلْمَرَضِ اَلَّذِي يُصَلِّي صَاحِبُهُ قَاعِداً فَقَالَ« إِنَّ اَلرَّجُلَ لَيُوعَكُ وَ يُجْرَحُ وَ لَكِنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِنَفْسِهِ إِذَا قَوِيَ فَلْيَقُمْ»
And from him, from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Jamil, and from Ibn Abi Umayr from Jamil. He said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “What is the degree of illness for which a person should pray sitting?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Indeed, a man may suffer fever or be wounded, but he knows himself best. If he has the strength, then let him stand (for prayer).”
