Chapter on the Prayer During Travel

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلسَّيَّارِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ اَلْعَسْكَرِ قَالَ: خَرَجَ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« أَنَّ صَاحِبَ اَلصَّيْدِ يُقَصِّرُ مَادَامَ عَلَى اَلْجَادَّةِ فَإِذَا عَدَلَ عَنِ اَلْجَادَّةِ أَتَمَّ فَإِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا قَصَّرَ»
Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Sayyari, from one of the people of al-Askari, said: There came a statement from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “Indeed, the hunter (sahib al-sayd) shortens (the prayer) as long as he is on the main road (al-jaddah). But when he deviates from the main road, he performs the full prayer. Then, if he returns to it, he shortens again.”
