Chapter on the Prayer During Travel

سَعْدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ وَ أَنَا أَمْشِي قَالَ« أَوْمِ إِيمَاءً وَ اِجْعَلِ اَلسُّجُودَ أَخْفَضَ مِنَ اَلرُّكُوعِ»
Sa’ad, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Safwan, from Ya‘qub ibn Shu‘ayb, who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about praying while traveling, and I am walking. Imam عليه السلام said: “Gesture (perform the prayer) with motions (ima'), and make the (gesture of) prostration (sujud) lower than the bowing (ruku‘).”
