Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from IbnAbu Umeyr, from Murazim who said, ‘Ismail Bin Jabir asked Abu Abdullah^asws, so he said, ‘May Allah^azwj Keep you^asws well! Upon me are a lot of (outstanding) optional (<span class="iTxt">Salāts</span>). So how should I deal with these?’ So he^asws said: ‘Fulfil them’. So he said to him^asws, ‘They are more numerous than that’. He^asws said: ‘Fulfil these’. I said, ‘I cannot (even) count them’. He^asws said: ‘Be at it’. Murazim said, ‘And I was sick for four months, not praying optional (Salāt) therein. I said, ‘May Allah^azwj Keep you^asws well! I was sick for four months, not praying optional <span class="iTxt">Salāts</span>’. So he^asws said: ‘Fulfilment is not upon you. The sick one is not like the healthy one. Everyone whom Allah^azwj Overcomes upon, so Allah^azwj is the closest with the Excusing with regards to it’.
