Chapter on the Prayer During Travel
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 1
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ يَحْيَى اَلْكَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: فِي اَلتَّقْصِيرِ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ قَالَ« بَرِيدٌ فِي بَرِيدٍ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَ عِشْرُونَ مِيلاً»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Abdillah ibn Yahya al-Kahili, who said:
I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, speaking about shortening the prayer (taqsir). Imam عليه السلام said: “A ‘barid’ by a ‘barid’, which is twenty-four miles.”
