Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 1
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلْأَوَّلِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ لِي ضِيَاعاً وَ مَنَازِلَ بَيْنَ اَلْقَرْيَةِ وَ اَلْقَرْيَتَيْنِ اَلْفَرْسَخَانِ وَ اَلثَّلاَثَةُ فَقَالَ« كُلُّ مَنْزِلٍ مِنْ مَنَازِلِكَ لاَ تَسْتَوْطِنُهُ فَعَلَيْكَ فِيهِ اَلتَّقْصِيرُ»
From him, from Ayyub ibn Nuh from Abu Talib from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr from Hammad ibn Uthman from Ali ibn Yaqtin, who said:
I said to Abu al-Hasan al-Awwal عليه السلام (the First), peace be upon him: “I have estates and houses between one village and another, at a distance of two or three parasangs.” Imam عليه السلام said: “Every house among your houses that you do not take as a permanent residence (tastawtinu-hu), upon you in it is the shortening of the prayer (taqsir).”
