Chapter on the Prayer of the One in Necessity
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 8
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمَرِيضِ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ اَلْجُلُوسَ قَالَ« فَلْيُصَلِّ وَ هُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ وَ لْيَضَعْ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ شَيْئاً إِذَا سَجَدَ فَإِنَّهُ يُجْزِي عَنْهُ وَ لَنْ يُكَلِّفَ اَللَّهُ مَا لاَ طَاقَةَ لَهُ بِهِ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id from al-Hasan from Zur'ah from Sama'ah who said:
I asked him about the sick person who is not able to sit. He said: “Then let him pray while lying down, and let him place something on his forehead when he prostrates, for it suffices for him. And Allah سبحانه وتعالى will not burden a soul beyond its capacity.”
