Chapter on the Prayer of the One in Necessity

عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اَلْمَرِيضِ يُغْمَى عَلَيْهِ أَيَّاماً فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَقْضِي صَلاَةَ يَوْمِهِ اَلَّذِي أَفَاقَ فِيهِ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَقْضِي صَلاَةَ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَ يَدَعُ مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّهُ لاَ قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِ فَكَتَبَ« يَقْضِي صَلاَةَ اَلْيَوْمِ اَلَّذِي يُفِيقُ فِيهِ»
From him, from Abdullah ibn Muhammad who said: I wrote to him; “May I be ransomed for you, it has been narrated from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, regarding a sick person who becomes unconscious for several days. Some have said he makes up the prayer of the day in which he regains consciousness, and some have said he makes up the prayers of three days and leaves what is beyond that, and some have said that there is no make-up upon him.” So Imam عليه السلام wrote: “He makes up the prayer of the day in which he regains consciousness.”
