Chapter on the Prayer During Pursuit and Sword Fighting
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 13
وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ اَلْقِتَالِ فَقَالَ« إِذَا اِلْتَقَوْا فَاقْتَتَلُوا فَإِنَّمَا اَلصَّلاَةُ حِينَئِذٍ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ وَ إِذَا كَانُوا وُقُوفاً فَالصَّلاَةُ إِيمَاءً»
And from him, from al-Hasan, from Zur’ah, from Sama’ah. He said:
I asked Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام about the prayer during combat. Imam عليه السلام said: “When they meet and engage in fighting, then at that time, the prayer is only with takbir. And if they are standing still, then the prayer is by gesturing.”
