He (the narrator) said, ‘And it has come from the Prophet -saww textual Hadeeth there is a consensus upon it that the markings installed upon the Sacred House of Allah -azwj will not go away from us by their whole, due to any incident from the incidents from Allah -azwj the Exalted upon His -azwj servants in establishing what Allah -azwj has Imposed upon them’’.
[17] قَالَ قَالَ زُرَارَةُ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الصَّلَاةُ فِي السَّفَرِ [فِي] السَّفِينَةِ وَ الْمَحْمِلِ سَوَاءٌ He (the narrator) said, ‘Zurara said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah -asws , ‘The Salat during the journey in the ship and the carriage, are the same?’ قَالَ الناقة [النَّافِلَةُ] كُلُّهَا سَوَاءٌ تُومِئُ إِيمَاءً أَيْنَمَا تَوَجَّهَتْ دَابَّتُكَ وَ سَفِينَتُكَ وَ الْفَرِيضَةُ تَنْزِلُ لَهَا عَنِ الْمَحْمِلِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مِنْ خَوْفٍ فَإِنْ خِفْتَ أَوْمَأْتَ He -asws said: ‘The optional Salat(s), all of these are same.
You can indicate by gestures wherever you may be headed on your riding animal, and your ship, while the obligatory Salat, you will have to descend for it from the carriage to the ground, except from fear. If you fear, you can do gestures (without descending).
وَ أَمَّا السَّفِينَةُ فَصَلِّ بِهَا قَائِماً وَ تَوَخَّ الْقِبْلَةَ بِجُهْدِكَ إِنَّ نُوحاً ع قَدْ صَلَّى الْفَرِيضَةَ فِيهَا قَائِماً مُتَوَجِّهاً إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَ هِيَ مُطْبِقَةٌ عَلَيْهِمْ And as for the ship, pray Salat at it standing and face the Qiblah with your striving. Noah -as had prayed the obligatory Salat in it while standing facing towards the Qiblah, and it had been layered upon them (by flood waters)’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا كَانَ عِلْمُهُ بِالْقِبْلَةِ فَيَتَوَجَّهَهَا وَ هِيَ مُطْبِقَةٌ عَلَيْهِمْ He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And what had let him -as know the Qiblah so he -as diverted towards it, and it had been layered (covered) upon them (with flood waters)?’ قَالَ كَانَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع يُقَوِّمُهُ نَحْوَهَا He -asws said: ‘Jibraeel -as had stood him -as towards it’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَتَوَجَّهُ نَحْوَهَا فِي كُلِّ تَكْبِيرَةٍ He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So I should be facing towards it during every exclamation of Takbeer?’ قَالَ أَمَّا فِي النَّافِلَةِ فَلَا إِنَّ مَا يُكَبِّرُ فِي النَّافِلَةِ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ أَكْثَرُ He -asws said: ‘As for regarding the optional Salat, no! Surely, what Takbeers have been exclaimed to other than the Qiblah are more’.
