Chapter on the Obligation of Shortening the Fast During Travel
وَ رَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «خِيَارُ أُمَّتِيَ اَلَّذِينَ إِذَا سَافَرُوا أَفْطَرُوا وَ قَصَّرُوا وَ إِذَا أَحْسَنُوا اِسْتَبْشَرُوا وَ إِذَا أَسَاءُوا اِسْتَغْفَرُوا وَ شِرَارُ أُمَّتِيَ اَلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي اَلنَّعِيمِ وَ غُذُّوا بِهِ يَأْكُلُونَ طَيِّبَ اَلطَّعَامِ وَ يَلْبَسُونَ لَيِّنَ اَلثِّيَابِ وَ إِذَا تَكَلَّمُوا لَمْ يَصْدُقُوا.
Aban ibn Taghlib narrated from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام, who said: The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) said: "The best among my nation are those who break their fast and shorten their prayers when traveling, rejoice when they do good, and seek forgiveness when they commit wrongs. The worst among my nation are those who are born into luxury, nurtured in it, eat the finest food, wear the softest clothes, and do not speak truthfully when they speak."
