The Prayer of Fear, Pursuit, Encounter, and Competition

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ فِي أَرْضٍ مَخُوفَةٍ فَخَشِيتَ لِصّاً أَوْ سَبُعاً فَصَلِّ اَلْفَرِيضَةَ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى دَابَّتِكَ.
It was narrated from Abu Basir that He said: I heard Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام say, "If you are in a place of danger and fear a thief or a wild beast, then perform the obligatory prayer while riding your mount."
