11. Ali has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from abu Hamzah who has said the following
“About the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘. . . those who speak of Allah, standing, sitting and while lying on their sides. . .’ (32:15) abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘A healthy person performs Salah (prayer) standing. One suffering from an illness performs Salah (prayer) sitting, and ‘on their sides’ is for one who is weaker than a patient who performs Salah (prayer) in a sitting position.’”
11ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ الله قِياماً وَقُعُوداً وَعَلى‏ جُنُوبِهِمْ قَالَ
الصَّحِيحُ يُصَلِّي قَائِماً وَقُعُوداً الْمَرِيضُ يُصَلِّي جَالِساً وَعَلى‏ جُنُوبِهِمْ الَّذِي يَكُونُ أَضْعَفَ مِنَ الْمَرِيضِ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي جَالِساً.
