Chapter on the Prayer During Travel

Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Faddal, from Dawud ibn Farqad, from Bashir al-Nabbal, who said: I went out with Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, until we reached al-Shajarah. Then Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said to me: “O Nabbal!” I said: “At your service.” Imam عليه السلام said: “It is not obligatory upon anyone from the people of this encampment to pray four (rak‘ahs) except me and you, and that is because the time of prayer entered before we departed.”
