10-21 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Aba Abdullah al-Barqy, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abdullah ibn al-Fazl, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), “You should not pray in ten places as follows: in mud; water; the bath; the middle of the road; ants’ nests; camel way-station; water streams; salty lands; in snow and in Zajnan.The compiler of the book - may God be pleased with him - said, “If one can say his prayer in another place, he should not say it in these places. However, if one is stuck in water or mud and is worried that his prayer may get too late, he can say his prayers in water and mud and just point with his head instead of bowing down and bend it down more instead of prostration. It doesn’t matter if one says his prayers on the side of the road, but he should not do so where there is traffic. One should not say his prayers in the bath. However, he can say it in the dressing room. One should never say his prayers on the ants’ nest, since then the ants will interfere with his prayer. One should not say his prayers in the camel way-station, unless he is worried that thieves might steal his belongings that are being carried by the camels. It is okay to pray in the sheep stable. One should never pray where the water may flow, since then he might get drowned. The restriction of praying in the salty land applies only to the Prophet and the Divine Leaders. If a normal person clears the place where he wants to prostrate by seriously banging on it so that there is a clean place to put his forehead on, then he can pray there. One should not pray in places like Zajnan which is located near Mecca and other similar locations, since there are snakes and other evils there.”
IsnādAbu a rapporté de son père, que Dieu soit satisfait de lui, qui a dit: Saad ibn Abdullah nous a informés, d'Ahmad ibn Abi Abdullah al-Barqi, de son père, d'Abdullah ibn al-Fadl, de celui qui lui a transmis, d'Abu Abdullah, que la paix soit sur lui, a dit:
"Il y a dix endroits où la prière n'est pas permise: sur la boue, sur l'eau, dans les bains, sur les routes fréquentées, près des fourmilières, près des abreuvoirs des chameaux, sur le lit des rivières, sur les marais, sur la neige et dans les vallées profondes. L'auteur de ce livre, que Dieu soit satisfait de lui, a dit: ces endroits ne sont pas propices à la prière dans des circonstances normales. Cependant, si quelqu'un se retrouve dans l'eau ou sur la boue et est contraint de prier, il peut prier en faisant des signes et en ayant son inclinaison plus basse que sa prosternation. Quant aux routes, il est permis de prier sur les côtés visibles par les passants, mais pas sur la route elle-même. En ce qui concerne les bains, la prière n'y est jamais autorisée. Cependant, si le lieu de baignade n'est pas un bain, alors la prière y est permise. Quant aux fourmilières, il n'est pas permis de prier à proximité car les fourmis peuvent perturber la prière. Pour les abreuvoirs des chameaux, la prière n'y est autorisée que si l'on craint pour ses biens. En ce cas, la prière y est permise. Concernant les enclos des moutons, il est permis de prier à cet endroit. Pour les lits des rivières, la prière n'y est jamais autorisée car on y trouve des créatures vivantes et des démons."
