قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي طُفْتُ أَرْبَعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ فَأَعْيَيْتُ أَ فَأُصَلِّي رَكَعَاتِهَا وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ إِذَا اعْتَلَّ وَ وَجَدَ فَتْرَةً صَلَاةَ اللَّيْلِ جَالِساً وَ هَذَا لَا يُصَلِّي قَالَ فَقَالَ يَسْتَقِيمُ أَنْ تَطُوفَ وَ أَنْتَ جَالِسٌ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَصَلِّ وَ أَنْتَ قَائِمٌ.
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Yahya Al Azraq, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I circumambulated four (circuits) out of seven, and I got tired, so can I Pray its two Cycles while seated?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No’. I said, ‘So how come the man can Pray the night Prayer when he is tired, and he finds slackness, while he is seated, and this one cannot Pray?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Is it correct for you to perform Tawaaf whilst you are seated?’ I said, ‘No’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So Pray standing’.
