Namaaz of the Sick in the Light of Hadith

Hadith 1: It is mentioned in the Hadith that Imran bin Haseen رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ was ill and he asked Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  with regards to Namaaz. Stand and perform it, and if you do not have the ability to do so, then sit and perform it, and if you do not have the ability to do this as well, then lie down and perform. Allah does not cause any soul (i.e. a person) any (undue) discomfort, but only that which he is able to bear. With the exception of Muslim, a Jama’at of Muhaditheen has reported this Hadith.

Hadith 2: Baz’zaz has reported in his Musnad and Baihaqi in Ma’rifa from Jabir رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Nabi  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم went to visit a sick person. He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  observed that he was performing his Namaaz on a pillow i.e. he was performing his Sajdah on it, so he  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم threw it away. He then took a plank (wood) so that he may perform Namaaz on it, so he  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم threw that away as well. He  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم perform Namaaz on the ground if you have the ability to do so, otherwise use gestures (Ishaara), and perform the Sajdah and Ruku lower (i.e. the gestures for Ruku and Sajdah).

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Bahaar-e-Shariat Volume 4)
