Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 1
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَمُرُّ بِبَعْضِ اَلْأَمْصَارِ وَ لَهُ بِالْمِصْرِ دَارٌ وَ لَيْسَ اَلْمِصْرُ وَطَنَهُ أَ يُتِمُّ صَلاَتَهُ أَمْ يُقَصِّرُ قَالَ« يُقَصِّرُ اَلصَّلاَةَ وَ اَلضِّيَاعُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ إِذَا مَرَّبِهَا»
From him, from Ahmad from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin from his brother al-Husayn from Ali, who said:
I asked Abu al-Hasan al-Awwal عليه السلام (the First), peace be upon him, about a man who passes through some cities, and he has a house in that city, but the city is not his homeland. Should he complete his prayer or shorten it? Imam عليه السلام said: “He should shorten the prayer, and estates (al-diya’) are the same in that regard, if he passes through them.”
