Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 10
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ وَقْتُ اَلصَّلاَةِ وَأَنَا فِي اَلسَّفَرِ فَلاَ أُصَلِّي حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ أَهْلِي قَالَ« صَلِّ وَأَتِمَّ اَلصَّلاَةَ» قُلْتُ فَدَخَلَ وَقْتُ اَلصَّلاَةِ وَأَنَا فِي أَهْلِي أُرِيدُ اَلسَّفَرَ فَلاَ أُصَلِّي حَتَّى أَخْرُجَ قَالَ« صَلِّ وَقَصِّرْ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَقَدْ وَاَللَّهِ خَالَفْتَ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
Al-Husayn ibn Said from Safwan and Muhammad ibn Sinan from Ismail ibn Jabir. He said:
I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “The time of prayer enters upon me while I am traveling, but I do not pray until I enter (the home of) my family.” Imam عليه السلام said: “Pray and complete the prayer (in full).” I asked: “What if the time of prayer enters upon me, while I am with my family, and I intend to travel, so I do not pray until I depart?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Pray and shorten the prayer. And if you do not do so, then by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, you have opposed the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family.”
