Hadith.1033 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The sick person should pray standing. If they are unable to do so, they should pray sitting. If they cannot pray sitting, they should pray lying down. They should say the Takbir, then recite. When they want to bow, they should close their eyes and then say the Tasbih (SubhanAllah (swt)). When they say Tasbih, they should open their eyes. The opening of the eyes represents the raising of their head from the bowing position. When they want to prostrate, they should close their eyes and then say the Tasbih. When they say Tasbih, they should open their eyes, and the opening of the eyes represents raising their head from the prostration position. Then they should recite the testimony of faith (Tashahhud) and end the prayer”.
1033 - قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «يُصَلِّي اَلْمَرِيضُ قَائِماً فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ صَلَّى جَالِساً فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ جَالِساً صَلَّى مُسْتَلْقِياً يُكَبِّرُ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اَلرُّكُوعَ غَمَّضَ عَيْنَيْهِ ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ فَإِذَا سَبَّحَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَيَكُونُ فَتْحُ عَيْنَيْهِ رَفْعَ رَأْسِهِ مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ غَمَّضَ عَيْنَيْهِ ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ فَإِذَا سَبَّحَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَيَكُونُ فَتْحُ عَيْنَيْهِ رَفْعَ رَأْسِهِ مِنَ اَلسُّجُودِ ثُمَّ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَ يَنْصَرِفُ.
