Chapter on the Prayer During Travel

Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hammad, from al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, when He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم was on a journey or if a need hastened him, He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would combine between the noon (Dhuhr) and afternoon (Asr) prayers. And (He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would combine) between the sunset (Maghrib) and the final night (Isha al-akhira) prayers.” He (al-Halabi) said: “Then Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said; ‘There is no harm in performing the final night prayer early, during travel before the twilight (shafaq) disappears.’”
