سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ إِنْ حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ بِإِقَامَةِ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ قَالَ فَلْيُتِمَّ الصَّلَاةَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَدْرِ مَا يُقِيمُ يَوْماً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَلْيَعُدَّ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ لْيُتِمَّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَقَامَ يَوْماً أَوْ صَلَاةً وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ خَمْساً فَقَالَ قَدْ قُلْتُ ذَاكَ قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَكُونُ أَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسٍ فَقَالَ لَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Ayoub who said, ‘Muhammad Bin Muslim asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> and I heard, about the traveller who thinks to himself of staying for ten days. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So let him pray the complete <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. And if he does not know what his stay would be, a day or more, so let him count (up to) thirty days, then let him pray complete (Salāt), and even if his stay was for one day, or one <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>’. So Muhammad Bin Muslim said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘It has reached me that you<sup>asws</sup> said five (days)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> had said that’. Abu Ayoub said, ‘So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! Can it happen to be less than five?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No’.
