Hadith #15

اَلصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ اَلْمَرْوَزِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ اَلْفَقِيهُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« اَلْمَرِيضُ إِنَّمَا يُصَلِّي قَاعِداً إِذَا صَارَ بِالْحَالِ اَلَّتِي لاَ يَقْدِرُ فِيهَا أَنْ يَمْشِيَ مِقْدَارَ صَلاَتِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَفْرُغَ قَائِماً»

Al-Saffar from Muhammad ibn Isa from Sulayman ibn Hafs al-Marwazi. He said: The Jurist (Faqih), Imam al-Hadi , peace be upon him, said: “The sick person is to pray sitting only when he reaches the condition, in which he is unable to walk the length of his prayer, from beginning to end while standing.”
