الَّذِي تُدْرِكُهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَ هُوَ فَوْقَ الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ إِنْ قَامَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ قِبْلَةٌ وَ لَكِنَّهُ يَسْتَلْقِي عَلَى قَفَاهُ وَ يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ يَعْقِدُ بِقَلْبِهِ الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِي فِي السَّمَاءِ الْبَيْتَ الْمَعْمُورَ وَ يَقْرَأُ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ غَمَّضَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ السُّجُودُ عَلَى نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Is’haq Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Salaam Bin Salih, (It has been narrated) from Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> regarding the one who comes across a <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> (timing) while he is on top of the Kabah. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he is standing, there would not happen to be a Qiblah for him. But, he lies down upon the scruff of his neck (back) and opens his eyes towards the sky, and he should hold the Qiblah by his heart, that which is in the sky, <span class="iTxt">Bayt Al-Mamour</span> (The Frequented House), and he should recite. So when he intends to perform <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>, he should shut his eyes, and when he intends to raise his head from the <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>, he should open his eyes. And the Sajdah would (also) be upon that’.
