سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ صَلِّ فِيهَا وَ لَا تُصَلِّ فِي أَعْطَانِ الْإِبِلِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَخَافَ عَلَى مَتَاعِكَ الضَّيْعَةَ فَاكْنُسْهُ وَ رُشَّهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَ صَلِّ فِيهِ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي ظَهْرِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فِي الظَّوَاهِرِ الَّتِي بَيْنَ الْجَوَادِّ فَأَمَّا عَلَى الْجَوَادِّ فَلَا تُصَلِّ فِيهَا قَالَ وَ كُرِهَ الصَّلَاةُ فِي السَّبَخَةِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَكَاناً لَيِّناً تَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَبْهَةُ مُسْتَوِيَةً قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الْبِيعَةِ فَقَالَ إِذَا اسْتَقْبَلْتَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ قَالَ وَ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي الْمَنَازِلِ الَّتِي فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ يَرُشُّ أَحْيَاناً مَوْضِعَ جَبْهَتِهِ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ عَلَيْهِ رَطْباً كَمَا هُوَ وَ رُبَّمَا لَمْ يَرُشَّ الَّذِي يَرَى أَنَّهُ طَيِّبٌ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَخُوضُ الْمَاءَ فَتُدْرِكُهُ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي حَرْبٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُجْزِئُهُ الْإِيمَاءُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ تَاجِراً فَلْيَقُمْ وَ لَا يَدْخُلْهُ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in the pens of sheep. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You can pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> therein, but you cannot pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in the enclosures of the camels, except if you were to fear upon your belongings being lost. So sweep it, and sprinkle it with the water, and you can pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in it’. And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> by the road side. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem if you were to Pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in the sides, but as for upon the middle, so do not pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> therein’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> is disliked to be performed in the marshland, except if there happens to be a smooth (and) even place which the forehead can fall upon’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in the synagogue. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If you are facing the Qiblah, so there is no problem with it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I saw him in (one of the) the encampments which are in the road to Makkah, sprinkling (water) sometimes in the place his forehead (where it would be for Sajdah), then perform Sajdah upon it, wet, just as it was. Sometimes he<sup>asws</sup> did not sprinkle (water) where he<sup>asws</sup> saw that it (the ground) was good’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who fights the water (sails in the sea), and the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> (time) comes up. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he was in a battle, so the gestures would suffice him; and if he was a trader, so let him stand and not enter it (the sea) until he has prayed <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>’.
