"If a man forgets a prayer or prays it without purification, whether he is at home or traveling, and then remembers it, he must make up the prayer that is due, neither adding to it nor subtracting from it. If he forgot four rak'ahs (units of prayer), he should make up four rak'ahs when he remembers, regardless of wheth

Hadith.1345 – Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that He said: "One who fears robbers or a wild beast should perform the prayer of a stopped traveler using gestures while on their mount." I (Zurarah) asked: "What if the person does not have wudu (ablution) and cannot dismount? What should they do
مَنْ تَطَهَّرَ ثُمَّ أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ بَاتَ وَ فِرَاشُهُ كَمَسْجِدِهِ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ فَلْيَتَيَمَّمْ مِنْ دِثَارِهِ وَ كَائِناً مَا كَانَ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ[2]

"If you fear experiencing a state of janabah (ritual impurity) during sleep, say in your bed: 'O’ Allah (swt), I seek refuge with You from experiencing a wet dream, from evil dreams, and from being manipulated by Shaytan (the devil) in wakefulness and in sleep.'"

"Whoever does not attend the congregation of people for the Eid prayers should perform the ritual bath (ghusl), apply whatever perfume is available, and then pray at home alone as he would pray in congregation”.
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ غُسْلِ الْأَضْحَى- قَالَ وَاجِبٌ إِلَّا بِمِنًى[4].
I asked Imam (as) about the Ghusl (ritual purification bath) of Eid al-Adha. Imam (as) said: "It is obligatory except for those in Mina."

"If you are afflicted with a grave matter, give charity during the day to sixty needy people, with each receiving half a sa' of the Prophet’s (sw) measure from dates, wheat, or barley. At night, during the last third of the night, perform a ritual bath (ghusl), then wear the simplest clothing that one in your care wear

Hadith.1544 - Sama’a narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "When one of you falls ill, he calls for the physician and pays him.
