Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 3
وَ رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلتَّطَوُّعِ بِالنَّهَارِ وَأَنَا فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ« لاَ وَ لَكِنْ تَقْضِي صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ بِالنَّهَارِ وَأَنْتَ فِي سَفَرٍ» فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ صَلاَةُ اَلنَّهَارِ اَلَّتِي أُصَلِّيهَا فِي اَلْحَضَرِ أَقْضِيهَا بِالنَّهَارِ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ فَقَالَ« أَمَّا أَنَا فَلاَ أَقْضِيهَا»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa narrated from Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Ashyam from Safwan ibn Yahya. He said:
I asked (Imam) al-Ridha عليه السلام, about performing supererogatory prayers during the day while I am traveling. Imam عليه السلام said: “No, but you may make up the night prayer during the day while you are traveling.” I asked: “May I be your ransom, the daytime prayers that I perform while at home, should I make them up during the day while on a journey?” Imam عليه السلام said: “As for me, I do not make them up.”
