وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ طَهْمَانَ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ صَلاَةِ الْمَرِيضِ فَقَالَ " صَلِّ قَائِمًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَقَاعِدًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَى جَنْبٍ " . حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَلاَ نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا رَوَى عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ نَحْوَ رِوَايَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ طَهْمَانَ . وَقَدْ رَوَى أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ نَحْوَ رِوَايَةِ عِيسَى بْنِ يُونُسَ . وَمَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي صَلاَةِ التَّطَوُّعِ . حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ الرَّجُلُ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ التَّطَوُّعِ قَائِمًا وَجَالِسًا وَمُضْطَجِعًا . وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي صَلاَةِ الْمَرِيضِ إِذَا لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ جَالِسًا فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يُصَلِّي عَلَى جَنْبِهِ الأَيْمَنِ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُصَلِّي مُسْتَلْقِيًا عَلَى قَفَاهُ وَرِجْلاَهُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ . وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ " مَنْ صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَلَهُ نِصْفُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ " . قَالَ هَذَا لِلصَّحِيحِ وَلِمَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ عُذْرٌ . يَعْنِي فِي النَّوَافِلِ فَأَمَّا مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عُذْرٌ مِنْ مَرَضٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ فَصَلَّى جَالِسًا فَلَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ الْقَائِمِ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي بَعْضِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مِثْلُ قَوْلِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ .

This hadith has also been transmitted from Ibrahim ibn Tahman with this chain, except that it says Imran ibn Husayn asked the Messenger of Allah about the prayer of a sick person, and he replied: "Pray standing; if you cannot, then seated; if you cannot, then on your side." Hannad narrated this to us: Waki narrated to us, from Ibrahim ibn Tahman, from Husayn al-Muallim, with this hadith. Abu Isa said: We know of no one else who narrated from Husayn al-Muallim in the manner of Ibrahim ibn Tahman. Abu Usamah and more than one other narrator transmitted from Husayn al-Muallim in the manner of Isa ibn Yunus. Some scholars understood this hadith to concern voluntary prayer. Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Ibn Abi Adi narrated to us, from Ashath ibn Abd al-Malik, from al-Hasan, who said: A man may pray voluntary prayers standing, sitting, or lying down, if he wishes. Scholars differed about how a sick person should pray if unable to pray seated. Some said he should pray on his right side; others said he should lie on his back with his feet toward the qiblah. Sufyan al-Thawri said regarding this hadith: "Whoever prays seated has half the reward of one who prays standing" refers to a healthy person without an excuse, meaning in voluntary prayers. As for someone with an excuse due to illness or otherwise who prays seated, he receives the same reward as one who prays standing. A similar view from Sufyan al-Thawri has been reported in some versions of this hadith.
