Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 1
وَ أَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ اَلْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَنْ نَفَرْتُ مِنْ مِنًى نَوَيْتُ اَلْمُقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ فَأَتْمَمْتُ اَلصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى جَاءَنِي خَبَرٌ مِنَ اَلْمَنْزِلِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ بُدّاً مِنَ اَلْمَصِيرِ إِلَى اَلْمَنْزِلِ وَ لَمْ أَدْرِ أُتِمُّ أَمْ أُقَصِّرُ وَ أَبُو اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَكَّةَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ اَلْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ «اِرْجِعْ إِلَى اَلتَّقْصِيرِ»
As for what was narrated by Sa’ad ibn Abdillah, from Abu Ja’far, from Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Barqi, from Hamzah ibn Abdillah al-Ja’fari, who said:
When I (Hamzah ibn Abdillah) departed from Mina, I intended to stay in Mecca, so I completed the prayer until news came to me from home, and I found no choice but to go to the house. And I did not know whether I should complete or shorten (the prayer). And Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him, was in Mecca on that day, so I then went to Imam عليه السلام and relayed the story to him. Imam عليه السلام said: “Return to shortening (the prayer).”
