1270 - وَقَالَ أَبُو وَلاَّدٍ اَلْحَنَّاطُ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَوَيْتُ حِينَ دَخَلْتُ اَلْمَدِينَةَ أَنْ أُقِيمَ بِهَا عَشْراً فَأَتْمَمْتُ اَلصَّلاَةَ ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي أَنْ لاَ أُقِيمَ بِهَا فَمَا تَرَى لِي أُتِمُّ أَمْ أَقْصُرُ فَقَالَ لِي «إِنْ كُنْتَ دَخَلْتَ اَلْمَدِينَةَ وَ صَلَّيْتَ بِهَا صَلاَةً وَاحِدَةً فَرِيضَةً بِتَمَامٍ فَلَيْسَ لَكَ أَنْ تَقْصُرَ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ مِنْهَا وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ حِينَ دَخَلْتَهَا عَلَى نِيَّتِكَ فِي اَلتَّمَامِ وَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ فِيهَا صَلاَةً فَرِيضَةً وَاحِدَةً بِتَمَامٍ حَتَّى بَدَا لَكَ أَنْ لاَ تُقِيمَ فَأَنْتَ فِي تِلْكَ اَلْحَالِ بِالْخِيَارِ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَانْوِ اَلْمُقَامَ عَشْراً وَ أَتِمَّ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَنْوِ اَلْمُقَامَ عَشْراً فَقَصِّرْ مَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ شَهْرٍ فَإِذَا مَضَى لَكَ شَهْرٌ فَأَتِمَّ اَلصَّلاَةَ.
Hadith.1270 - Abu Walad al-Hannat said :
I said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
:
"When I entered Medina, I intended to stay there for ten days, so I completed my prayers (performed full prayers). Then it occurred to me not to stay for ten days. What should I do? Should I continue performing full prayers or shorten them?"
Imam said: "If you entered Medina and prayed a single obligatory prayer with completion (full prayer), then you must continue performing the full prayer until you leave the city. However, if, upon entering, your intention was to perform full prayers but you had not yet prayed a single obligatory prayer in full before changing your intention not to stay, then you have the option: if you wish, you can intend to stay for ten days and perform full prayers, or if you do not intend to stay for ten days, you may shorten your prayers until a month has passed. If a month passes, then you must perform full prayers."
