1223. It was narrated that 'Imrân bin Husain said: "I suffered from Nâsur[1] and I asked the Prophet ﷺ about prayer. He said: 'Perform prayer standing; if you cannot, then sitting; and if you cannot then while lying on your side.'" (Sahih)
1223 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ بِيَ النَّاصُورُ، فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ: «صَلِّ قَائِمًا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَقَاعِدًا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ، فَعَلَى جَنْبٍ»
