Chapter on the Prayer in the Ship

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلسَّفِينَةِ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ صَاحِبُهَا عَلَى اَلْقِيَامِ أَ يُصَلِّي وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ يُومِئُ أَوْ يَسْجُدُ قَالَ« يَقُومُ وَ إِنْ حَنَى ظَهْرَهُ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin from his brother al-Husayn from their father Ali ibn Yaqtin from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam al-Kadhim عليه السلام about the ship, if its rider is not able to stand, should he pray while sitting, gesturing, or prostrating? Imam عليه السلام said: “He should stand, even if he bends his back.”
