Chapter on Obligation of Prayer During Travel

And he also narrated from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام: Imam عليه السلام was asked about a man upon whom the time of prayer had entered while he was on a journey, but he delayed the prayer until he arrived (home), intending to pray it after returning to his family, but then he forgot to pray it upon arrival until its time had passed. Imam عليه السلام said: “He should pray it as two rak’ahs, the prayer of a traveler, because the time entered upon him while he was traveling. It would have been proper for him to pray it at that time.”
