1271 - وَ سَأَلَ زُرَارَةُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَخْرُجُ مَعَ اَلْقَوْمِ فِي سَفَرٍ يُرِيدُهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْوَقْتُ وَ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنَ اَلْقَرْيَةِ عَلَى فَرْسَخَيْنِ فَصَلَّوْا وَ اِنْصَرَفَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَلَمْ يُقْضَ لَهُمُ اَلْخُرُوجُ مَا يَصْنَعُ بِالصَّلاَةِ اَلَّتِي كَانَ صَلاَّهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ «تَمَّتْ صَلاَتُهُ وَ لاَ يُعِيدُ.
Hadith.1271 – Zurarah asked Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir about a man who sets out with a group of people for a journey that he intends to complete. The time for prayer enters while they have already departed from the village by a distance of two farsakhs (approximately six miles) and they perform their prayers (as two units). Some of them then turn back for a specific need, and they are unable to continue their journey. What should be done about the prayer that was performed as two units?
