1 Ḥadīth

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ الْمَشْيَ لِلْمَرِيضِ نُكْسٌ إِنَّ أَبِي (عليه السلام) كَانَ إِذَا اعْتَلَّ جُعِلَ فِي ثَوْبٍ فَحُمِلَ لِحَاجَتِهِ يَعْنِي الْوُضُوءَ وَ ذَاكَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمَشْيَ لِلْمَرِيضِ نُكْسٌ.


444. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Yahya Al-Wasity, from one of our companions who said: Abu Abdullah (a.s) said that; ‘The walking is detrimental to the sick. When my (a.s) father (a.s) became sick, he (a.s) had to be carried in a cloth for his (a.s) need, meaning the ablution, and that is why he (a.s) used to say that the walking is detrimental to the sick’.
