Hadith 14

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnaad’ – from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr Al Bazanty who said, ‘I asked Al-Reza-asws about the man going out to the estate, so he stays for the day and the two days and the three, ‘Should he pray complete (Salat) or shorten? ’
He-asws said: ‘He should pray complete in it’’. [18]
And from him, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Abu Al Khattab, from Al Bazanty who said, ‘I asked Al-Reza-asws about the man intending the journey to his estate, ‘In how many (days) should he shorten (the Salat)? ’
He-asws said: ‘In three (days)’’. [19]
Explanation (Ahadeeth only) – From these is a correct (Hadeeth) by Ibn Bazie (in Al Tahzeeb), from Abu Al-Hassan-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him-asws about the man shortening (Salat) in his estate. He-asws said: ‘There is no problem for as long as he does not intend staying for ten days, except if there happens to be a dwelling for him, he can make it a home’. I said: ‘What is ‘Making it a home’? ’
He-asws said: ‘If there happens to be a dwelling for him, he can stay in it for six months’’. And from these is a trusted (Hadeeth) by Ammar (in Al Tahzeeb), from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the man going out in a journey, and he passes by a town of his, or a house, so he descends in it. He-asws said: ‘He should pray complete Salat, and even if there does not happen to be for him except one date tree, he should not shorten, and let him fast when the fast presents while he is in it’’. And by this is explicit (Hadeeth) by Al-Sadouq in ‘Al Faqeeh’ whereby he said after referring to a correct (Hadeeth) by Ismail Bin Al-Fazl who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the man travelling from a land to a land, and rather he descends in his town and his estate. He-asws said: ‘When you descend in your town and your estate, then pray the complete Salat, and when you were in other than your land, shorten’’. And from the reports what evidence upon the absolute settlement (making it a home), is like the correct (Hadeeth) by Ali Bin Yaqteen (in Al Tahzeeb) who said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘The man takes the dwelling, so he passes by it, ‘Show he pray complete or shorten? ’
He-asws said: ‘Every dwelling you do not make it a home, it isn’t a dwelling for you, and it isn’t for you to pray complete (Salat) in it’’. And in a correct (Hadeeth) by Al-Husayn Bin Ali (in Al Tahzeeb) who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 1st about a man passing by one of the cities and for him is a house in the city, and the city isn’t his homeland, ‘Should his Salat be complete or shortened? ’
He-asws said: ‘He should shorten the Salat, and the estate is similar to that when he passes by it’’.
