Chapter on the Prayer of the One in Necessity

عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْجَبَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُغْمَى عَلَيْهِ يَوْماً إِلَى اَللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يُفِيقُ قَالَ« إِنْ أَفَاقَ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ اَلشَّمْسِ فَعَلَيْهِ قَضَاءُ يَوْمِهِ هَذَا فَإِنْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ أَيَّاماً ذَوَاتِ عَدَدٍ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ إِلاَّ آخِرَ أَيَّامِهِ إِنْ أَفَاقَ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ اَلشَّمْسِ وَ إِلاَّ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءٌ»
From him, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Jabbar, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from al-Alaa ibn al-Fudayl, said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who falls unconscious from the day until the night, then regains consciousness. Imam عليه السلام said: “If he regains consciousness before sunset, then he must make up the prayer of that day. But if he remains unconscious for a number of days, then he is only required to make up the prayer of the last of those days, if he regains consciousness before sunset. Otherwise, there is nothing upon him to make up.”
