Sunan Abi Dawud 952 (Book 2, Hadith 563) #21244
Praying According to Ability

SUMMARY: The Prophet advised a person with a fistula to pray in standing, sitting or lying position depending on their ability.

'Imran b. Husain said : I had a fistula; so I asked the prophet . He said: offer prayer in standing condition; if you are unable to do so, then in sitting condition: if you are then at your side(i.e, in lying condition).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ كَانَ بِيَ النَّاصُورُ فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ صَلِّ قَائِمًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَقَاعِدًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَعَلَى جَنْبٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer and how it should be done according to one's ability. The Prophet advised 'Imran b. Husain, who had a fistula, to offer prayer in standing condition if he was able to do so. If not, then he should pray while sitting and if that was too difficult for him then he could pray while lying down. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive our best when it comes to worshiping Allah but at the same time we must also take into consideration our physical limitations and adjust accordingly. We must remember that Allah is Most Merciful and He will accept our prayers even if we are unable to perform them in the traditional way due to physical limitations or other reasons beyond our control.
