Chapter on the Prayer of the One in Necessity
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 8
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْمَرِيضِ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى اَلصَّلاَةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ« كُلَّمَا غَلَبَ اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَى بِالْعُذْرِ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Hadid from Murazim who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a sick person who is not able to perform the prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: “Whatever Allah سبحانه وتعالى has caused to overcome him (to faint), then Allah سبحانه وتعالى is more entitled to excuse.”
