The Prayer of Fear, Pursuit, Encounter, and Competition

Hadith #6

وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ صَلاَةُ اَلْخَوْفِ وَ صَلاَةُ اَلسَّفَرِ تُقْصَرَانِ جَمِيعاً قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَ صَلاَةُ اَلْخَوْفِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تُقْصَرَ مِنْ صَلاَةِ اَلسَّفَرِ لِأَنَّ فِيهَا خَوْفاً.

Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir : I asked him about the prayer of fear and the prayer of travel—are both to be shortened? Imam said: "Yes, and the prayer of fear is more deserving of being shortened than the prayer of travel because it involves fear”.
