Chapter on the Prayer During Travel

Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamid, from Sayf ibn Umayrah, from Mansur ibn Hazim, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, say: “If he is on a journey and the time of prayer enters upon him, before he enters his family (house), and then he continues traveling until he enters his family (house), then if he wishes; he may shorten (the prayer), and if he wishes, he may complete (the prayer). And completing (the prayer) is more beloved to me.”
