Some of the rulings concerning the Ṣalāt of a sick person
-
1- When a sick person observes alt in a sitting position and he is capable of prostrating, then prostration is compulsory for him.
2- When he observes alt while sitting, but is incapable of performing the prostration, then he gestures with his body with regards to bowing and prostration, making his prostration lower than his bowing. If motioning with his body becomes difficult, then he gestures with his head. Also, this is the manner in which he performs alt while praying on his back ? i.e. gestures with his head.3- If performing ablution for each Salat becomes difficult for a sick person or observing the alt at their prescribed period is unbearable, then he can observe huhr and ?Asr together, as well as Maghrib and Isha?, by combining both alt in the time of the former or the latter, according to what is convenient for him.4- The sick person is not excused from Salat as long as his senses remain in tact. Thus it is not proper for the sick person to take alt lightly on account of his sickness. He should try as much as possible to observe his alt.5- If the sick person was unconscious for some days and later becomes conscious, he is to observes alt when he regains his consciousness, according to his ability. He is not to re-offer the alt missed during his unconsciousness. However, if his unconsciousness is mild, a day or two for instance, he is to re-offer the missed prayers whenever that (paying the prayers back) becomes possible for him.

Please provide us with the Qoran verses for these instructions.
One thing for sure, Qoran deals more with "sickness of the heart". The real sick person is the one who takes on "other gods beside GOD"
Qoran calls this kind of sick heart-Dum, deaf and blind- And if this sick person does not uphold GOD Alone as the only authority, no amount of instructions from anywhere is going to help them gain salvation, even if they perform salat a million times a day?
May the Lord guide all to His path.
GOD bless you.
Peace.
