Chapter on the Prayer During Travel

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« أَرْبَعَةٌ قَدْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلتَّمَامُ فِي سَفَرٍ كَانُوا أَوْ فِي حَضَرٍ اَلْمُكَارِي وَ اَلْكَرِيُّ وَ اَلرَّاعِي وَ اَلْأَشْتَقَانُ لِأَنَّهُ عَمَلُهُمْ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Hammad ibn Isa from Hariz from Zurarah, who said: Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “There are four for whom it may be obligatory to perform the prayer in full, whether they are traveling or residing; the muleteer (al-mukari), the hired rider (al-kariyy), the shepherd (al-ra‘i), and the courier (al-ashtaqan), because it is their work.”
