مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:« يُطْلَبُ اَلْمَاءُ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ إِنْ كَانَتِ اَلْحُزُونَةُ فَغَلْوَةَ سَهْمٍ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ سُهُولَةٌ فَغَلْوَتَيْنِ لاَ يُطْلَبُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ».
The narration transmitted by Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar from Ibrahim ibn Hashim, from al-Nawfali, from al-Sakuni, from Imam Ja‘far ibn Muhammad عليه السلام, from his father عليه السلام, from Imam Ali عليه السلام:
Imam عليه السلام said: "In a journey, water should be sought: if the terrain is rugged, then to the extent of one arrow shot, and if it is flat, then to the extent of two arrow shots. More than that is not required."
