Hadith.1314 - Ali ibn Sa'id asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about performing the night prayer and Witr prayer during travel at the beginning of the night. Imam (as) said: "Yes."

مِنْ حِينِ تُصَلِّي الْعَتَمَةَ إِلَى أَنْ يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ.

Hadith.1315 - Sama'a ibn Mehran asked Abu al-Hasan the First (as) about the timing of the night prayer during travel. Imam (as) said: "From the time you perform the 'Atamah (Isha, the night prayer) until the break of dawn (Fajr)."

Hadith.1316 - Hariz reported from someone who narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that he did not see any problem with praying while walking, as long as he was not driving the camels.

Hadith.1317 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked: "Why is the Maghrib prayer three rak'ahs with an additional four rak'ahs (supererogatory) afterward, and why is there no shortening of it during residence or travel?" Imam (as) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, revealed to His Prophet (sw) ev

Hadith.1318 - Al-Fadl ibn Shadhan al-Naysaburi, may Allah (swt) have mercy on him, mentioned among the reasons he heard from al-Ridha (as) regarding why prayers are shortened during travel. He (Imam (as)) said: "The initially prescribed obligatory prayer was ten rak'ahs. The seven additional rak'ahs were later added, a

Hadith.1319 - Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib asked Ali ibn al-Hussain (as), "When was the prayer made obligatory upon the Muslims in the form it is today?"

Hadith.1322 - Ibrahim ibn Maymun said to him (Abu Abdullah (as)): "We travel to Ahwaz in ships, and we combine the prayers on board." He (as) replied: "Yes, there is no harm in that."

قُلْتُ لَهُ صَلَاةُ الْخَوْفِ وَ صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ تُقْصَرَانِ جَمِيعاً قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ صَلَاةُ الْخَوْفِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تُقْصَرَ[2] مِنْ صَلَاةِ السَّفَرِ لِأَنَّ فِيهَا خَوْفاً[3].

Hadith.1339 – Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as): I asked him about the prayer of fear and the prayer of travel—are both to be shortened? Imam (as) said: "Yes, and the prayer of fear is more deserving of being shortened than the prayer of travel because it involves fear”.

وَ سَمِعْتُ شَيْخَنَا مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ‌ رُوِّيتُ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ الصَّادِقُ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ إِذا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ‌ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُناحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ‌ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَقَالَ هَذَا تَقْصِيرُ ثَانٍ‌[4] وَ هُوَ أَنْ‌

قَالَ: «صَلِّ صَلاَةَ اَللَّيْلِ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اَللَّيْلِ فِي اَلْمَحْمِلِ وَ اَلْوَتْرَ وَ رَكْعَتَيِ اَلْفَجْرِ.

Hadith.1477 - Sa'd ibn Sa'd narrated from al-Ridha (as) regarding a traveler to Mecca or elsewhere, asking if the traveler is obligated to perform the Eid prayers (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha). He (Imam (as)) said: "Yes, except in Mina on the Day of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha)."

إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا مَرِضَ‌ دَعَا الطَّبِيبَ وَ أَعْطَاهُ وَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى سُلْطَانٍ رَشَا الْبَوَّابَ وَ أَعْطَاهُ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا فَدَحَهُ أَمْرٌ فَزِعَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَتَطَهَّرَ[1] وَ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ قَلَّتْ أَوْ كَثُرَتْ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ع ثُمَّ قَالَ

Hadith.1970 - Al-Ala' narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Ja'far (as): "He was asked about a man who encounters the need to travel during the Month of Ramadan while he is residing, and some days have already passed.

Imam (as) said: "If it is during the Month of Ramadan, let him break his fast." He was then asked: "Which is better, for him to stay and fast or to accompany his brother?"

Hadith.1975 - Muhammad ibn Hakim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he said: "If a man were to die while fasting during travel, I would not perform the funeral prayer for him."

"The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) called a group of people who fasted when he broke his fast and shortened his prayer as 'disobedient.' He (sw) said: 'They are disobedient until the Day of Judgment, and we recognize their children and the children of their children up to this day of ours.

"When a man travels during the Month of Ramadan, he breaks his fast." Imam (as) continued: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) departed from Medina to Mecca during Month of Ramadan, accompanied by people among whom were pedestrians.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ خِيَارُ أُمَّتِيَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا سَافَرُوا أَفْطَرُوا وَ قَصَّرُوا وَ إِذَا أَحْسَنُوا اسْتَبْشَرُوا وَ إِذَا أَسَاءُوا اسْتَغْفَرُوا وَ شِرَارُ أُمَّتِيَ الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي النَّعِيمِ وَ غُذُّوا بِهِ يَأْكُلُونَ طَيِّبَ الطَّعَامِ وَ يَلْبَسُونَ لَيِّنَ الثِّيَابِ وَ إِذَا تَكَلَّمُوا لَمْ يَصْدُقُوا.

The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "The best among my nation are those who break their fast and shorten their prayers when traveling, rejoice when they do good, and seek forgiveness when they commit wrongs. The worst among my nation are those who are born into luxury, nurtured in it,

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ‌ مَنْ سَافَرَ قَصَّرَ وَ أَفْطَرَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلًا سَفَرُهُ إِلَى صَيْدٍ[1] أَوْ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْ رَسُولًا لِمَنْ يَعْصِي اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْ طَلَبِ عَدُوٍّ أَوْ شَحْنَاءَ أَوْ سِعَايَةٍ[2] أَوْ ضَرَرٍ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.

"I heard Imam (as) say: Whoever travels must shorten their prayers and break their fast, except in the case of a person whose travel is for hunting, committing a sin against Allah (swt) the Almighty, acting as a messenger for someone disobedient to Allah (swt), pursuing an enemy, fostering enmity, engaging in slander,

Hadith.1982 - Al-Halabi narrated from Imam Abu Abdullah (as): He was asked about a man who leaves his house intending to travel while fasting. The Imam (as) replied: "If he departs before the middle of the day, let him break his fast and make up that day. But if he departs after midday, let him complete his day."
