سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُسَافِرُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ مَعَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ فَلَهُ أَنْ يُصِيبَ مِنْهَا بِالنَّهَارِ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ أَ مَا تَعْرِفُ حُرْمَةَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِنَّ لَهُ فِي اللَّيْلِ سَبْحاً طَوِيلًا قُلْتُ أَ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ وَ يَشْرَبَ وَ يُقَصِّرَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قَدْ رَخَّصَ لِلْمُسَافِرِ فِي الْإِفْطَارِ وَ التَّقْصِيرِ رَحْمَةً وَ تَخْفِيفاً لِمَوْضِعِ التَّعَبِ وَ النَّصَبِ وَ وَعْثِ السَّفَرِ وَ لَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَهُ فِي مُجَامَعَةِ النِّسَاءِ فِي السَّفَرِ بِالنَّهَارِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ أَوْجَبَ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءَ الصِّيَامِ وَ لَمْ يُوجِبْ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءَ تَمَامِ الصَّلَاةِ إِذَا آبَ مِنْ سَفَرِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ السُّنَّةُ لَا تُقَاسُ وَ إِنِّي إِذَا سَافَرْتُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مَا آكُلُ إِلَّا الْقُوتَ وَ مَا أَشْرَبُ كُلَّ الرِّيِّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ibn Sinan who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the man who travels during a Month of Ramazan and with his is a slave girl. Is it for him that he attains from her in the daytime?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Glory be to Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Does he not recognise the sanctity of a Month of Ramazan? For him, during the night, is a lengthy duration’. I said, ‘Is it not for him that he can eat and drink and shorten (the Prayer)?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High has Allowed for the traveler regarding the breaking (of the Fast), and the shortening (of the Prayer), as a Mercy and a lightening due to the fatigue, and the setting up (of tents etc.), and moths of the travel, but He<sup>azwj</sup> did not Allow for him regarding the sleeping with the women by the day, during the journey, in a Month of Ramazan, and Obligated upon him the making up for the Fasts and did not Obligate upon him the making up for the complete when he returns from his journey’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And the Sunnah cannot be analogized, and I<sup>asws</sup>, whenever I<sup>asws</sup> travel during a Month of Ramazan, do not eat except for the bare necessities, and do not drink for the whole thirst’.
