سُئِلَ عَنْ حَدِّ الْأَمْيَالِ الَّتِي يَجِبُ فِيهَا التَّقْصِيرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) جَعَلَ حَدَّ الْأَمْيَالِ مِنْ ظِلِّ عَيْرٍ إِلَى ظِلِّ وُعَيْرٍ وَ هُمَا جَبَلَانِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَقَعَ ظِلُّ عَيْرٍ إِلَى ظِلِّ وُعَيْرٍ وَ هُوَ الْمِيلُ الَّذِي وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلَيْهِ التَّقْصِيرَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> was asked about a limit of the miles which Obligated the shortening in it. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘A limit of the miles was made to be from the shade of (mount) Ayr up to the shade of (mount) Wueyr, and these two are mountains in Al-Medina. So when the sun emerged, the shadow of (mount) Ayr fell upon the shadow of (mount) Uweyr), and it is the mile which Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> placed upon the shortening’.
