1279 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَزَّكٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلثَّالِثِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّ لِي جِمَالاً وَ لِي قُوَّامٌ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَسْتُ أَخْرُجُ فِيهَا إِلاَّ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ لِرَغْبَتِي فِي اَلْحَجِّ أَوْ فِي اَلنَّدْرَةِ إِلَى بَعْضِ اَلْمَوَاضِعِ فَمَا يَجِبُ عَلَيَّ إِذَا أَنَا خَرَجْتُ مَعَهَا أَنْ أَعْمَلَ أَ يَجِبُ اَلتَّقْصِيرُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ اَلصَّوْمِ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ أَوِ اَلتَّمَامُ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «إِذَا كُنْتَ لاَ تَلْزَمُهَا وَ لاَ تَخْرُجُ مَعَهَا فِي كُلِّ سَفَرٍ إِلاَّ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَعَلَيْكَ تَقْصِيرٌ وَ فُطُورٌ.
Hadith.1279 - Abdullah ibn Ja'far narrated from Muhammad ibn Jazk who said:
‘I wrote to Imam Al-Hassan Al-Askari (as) saying,
"I own camels and have people managing them, but I do not travel with them except when going to Mecca due to my desire for pilgrimage or rarely to some other places. What is required of me when I travel with them? Should I shorten my prayers and break my fast during travel, or should I perform them fully?"
Imam (as) replied: "If you do not always accompany them and only travel with them to Mecca, then you must shorten your prayers and break your fast."

"If a man forgets a prayer or prays it without purification, whether he is at home or traveling, and then remembers it, he must make up the prayer that is due, neither adding to it nor subtracting from it. If he forgot four rak'ahs (units of prayer), he should make up four rak'ahs when he remembers, regardless of whether he is traveling or at home. And if he forgot two rak'ahs, he should perform two rak'ahs when he remembers, whether traveling or at home."
