Chapter on the Prayer of Fear

عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا جَالَتِ اَلْخَيْلُ تَضْطَرِبُ بِالسُّيُوفِ أَجْزَأَهُ تَكْبِيرَتَانِ فَهَذَا تَقْصِيرٌ آخَرُ»
Ali from his father from Amr ibn Uthman from Muhammad ibn Udhafir from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “When the horses move about in turmoil with swords clashing, two takbirs suffice him (for prayer). This is another form of shortening (taqsir).”
