Chapter on the Prayer During Travel

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Dawud ibn al-Husayn, from Fadl al-Baqbaq, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I asked Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام about a traveller (shortening his prayer), who stays with some of his family for a day, or a night, or three (days). Imam عليه السلام said: “I do not like that he should shorten the prayer.”
