Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ قَائِماً فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ فَيَنْسَى كِيسَهُ أَوْ مَتَاعاً لَهُ يَتَخَوَّفُ ضَيْعَتَهُ أَوْ هَلاَكَهُ قَالَ« يَقْطَعُ صَلاَتَهُ وَ يُحْرِزُ مَتَاعَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُ اَلصَّلاَةَ» قُلْتُ فَيَكُونُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ فَتَفَلَّتُ دَابَّتُهُ فَيَخَافُ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ أَوْ يُصِيبَ مِنْهَا عَنَتاً فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يَقْطَعَ صَلاَتَهُ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Uthman ibn Isa from Sama'ah who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who is standing in obligatory prayer and remembers his pouch or some of his belongings, fearing their loss or ruin. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should cut off his prayer, secure his belongings, and then start his prayer anew." I asked: “If he is in obligatory prayer and his animal breaks loose and he fears it might be lost or cause harm” Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm if he cuts off his prayer."
