كُلُ‌ مَنْزِلٍ مِنْ مَنَازِلِكَ لَا تَسْتَوْطِنُهُ فَعَلَيْكَ فِيهِ التَّقْصِيرُ.

"For every dwelling of yours that you do not consider a permanent residence, you must shorten your prayers there."

فِي الرَّجُلِ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّيْدِ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً أَ يُقَصِّرُ أَوْ يُتِمُّ فَقَالَ إِنْ خَرَجَ لِقُوتِهِ وَ قُوتِ عِيَالِهِ فَلْيُقَصِّرْ وَ لْيُفْطِرْ وَ إِنْ خَرَجَ لِطَلَبِ الْفُضُولِ فَلَا وَ لَا كَرَامَةَ[1]

إِنْ خَشِيتَ أَنْ لَا تَقُومَ فِي آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ كَانَتْ بِكَ عِلَّةٌ أَوْ أَصَابَكَ بَرْدٌ فَصَلِّ وَ أَوْتِرْ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ فِي السَّفَرِ.

Hadith.1342 - It was narrated from Abu Basir that He said: I heard Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) say, "If you are in a place of danger and fear a thief or a wild beast, then perform the obligatory prayer while riding your mount."

«اَلَّذِي يَخَافُ اَللُّصُوصَ يُصَلِّي إِيمَاءً عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ.

"One who fears robbers should perform their prayer by gesturing while on their mount”.

وَ قَدْ رُخِّصَ فِي صَلاَةِ اَلْخَوْفِ مِنَ اَلسَّبُعِ إِذَا خَشِيَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ وَ لاَ يُومِئَ رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ.

Hadith.1344 - t has been permitted, in the case of the prayer of fear from a wild beast when a person fears for their life, to simply say the takbir (proclaiming "Allahu Akbar") without making gestures. This was narrated by Muhammad ibn Muslim from one of the Imams (as).

الَّذِي يَخَافُ اللُّصُوصَ وَ السَّبُعَ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْمُوَاقَفَةِ إِيمَاءً عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الْمُوَاقِفُ‌[3] عَلَى وُضُوءٍ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ وَ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى النُّزُولِ قَالَ يَتَيَمَّمُ مِنْ لِبْدِ دَابَّتِهِ أَوْ سَرْجِهِ أَوْ مَعْرَفَةِ دَابَّتِهِ‌[4] فَإِنَّ فِيهَا غُبَاراً وَ يُصَلِّي وَ يَجْعَلُ السُّجُودَ أَخْفَضَ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَ لَا يَدُورُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَ

Hadith.1345 – Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that He said: "One who fears robbers or a wild beast should perform the prayer of a stopped traveler using gestures while on their mount." I (Zurarah) asked: "What if the person does not have wudu (ablution) and cannot dismount? What should they do

صَلَاةُ الزَّحْفِ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ إِيمَاءٌ بِرَأْسِكَ‌[5] وَ تَكْبِيرٌ[6] وَ الْمُسَايَفَةِ تَكْبِيرٌ بِغَيْرِ إِيمَاءٍ[7]- وَ الْمُطَارَدَةِ إِيمَاءٌ يُصَلِّي كُلُّ رَجُلٍ عَلَى حِيَالِهِ‌[1].

"The prayer during advancing combat (al-zahf) is performed on one's back with gestures of the head and the takbir (proclamation of 'Allahu Akbar'). During close fighting (al-musayafa), it involves takbir without gestures. During pursuit (al-mutarada), it is performed with gestures, and each person prays individually as

وَ قَالَ ع‌ فَاتَ‌[2] النَّاسَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ ع يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ صَلَاةُ الظُّهْرِ وَ الْعَصْرِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ فَكَبَّرُوا وَ هَلَّلُوا وَ سَبَّحُوا رِجَالًا وَ رُكْبَاناً.

Hadith.1347 - Imam (as) said: "The people missed the Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers with Ali (as) on the day of Siffin. He instructed them to make the takbir (saying 'Allahu Akbar'), tahleel (saying 'La ilaha illAllah (swt)'), and tasbih (glorifying Allah (swt)) while standing and while mounted."

أَقَلُّ مَا

Hadith.1348 - In the book of Abdullah ibn al-Mughira, it is reported that Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The minimum that suffices for the prayer during close combat (al-musayafa) is two takbirs (proclamations of 'Allahu Akbar') for each prayer, except for the Maghrib prayer, for which there are three takbirs."
