The Prayer of Fear, Pursuit, Encounter, and Competition
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 63
وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ صَلاَةُ اَلْخَوْفِ وَ صَلاَةُ اَلسَّفَرِ تُقْصَرَانِ جَمِيعاً قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَ صَلاَةُ اَلْخَوْفِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تُقْصَرَ مِنْ صَلاَةِ اَلسَّفَرِ لِأَنَّ فِيهَا خَوْفاً.
Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام: I asked him about the prayer of fear and the prayer of travel—are both to be shortened? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, and the prayer of fear is more deserving of being shortened than the prayer of travel because it involves fear”.
