Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 1
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُسَافِرُ فَيَمُرُّ بِالْمَنْزِلِ لَهُ فِي اَلطَّرِيقِ يُتِمُّ اَلصَّلاَةَ أَمْ يُقَصِّرُ قَالَ« يُقَصِّرُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ اَلْمَنْزِلُ اَلَّذِي تَوَطَّنَهُ»
From him, by Ayyub ibn Nuh by Ibn Abi Umayr by Hammad ibn Uthman by al-Halabi from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked regarding a man who travels and passes by a house of his, on the road. Should he complete the prayer or shorten it? Imam عليه السلام said: “He should shorten (the prayers). Prayer is only (performed in full) in the house that he has settled in permanently (‘tawattanahu’).”
