Al-Khiṣāl - Part 1: On One-Numbered Characteristics Chapter: God the Almighty Has Sent Muhammad (sw) and His Nation a Gift That He Has Not Given to Any Other Nation 1-43 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهي٠، عن أبيه، عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن جعفر بن ٠قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إن الله تبارك وتعالى أهدى إلي وإلى أ٠ن الله لنا، قالوا: و٠ا ذاك يا رسول الله؟ قال: الافطار في في السفر، والتقصير في الصلاة، ف٠يفعل ذلك فقد رد على الله عز وجل هديته 1-43 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Al-Nawfaly, on the authority of Al-Sakoony, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (as), on the authority of his father (as) that God’s Prophet (sw) said, “Indeed God the Blessed the Sublime has granted me and my nation a gift that He has not granted to any other nation.

This is an honor from God for us.” He was asked, “O Prophet of God! What is it?” He said, “It is breaking the fast and shortening our prayers (while we are) on a journey.” Whoever doesn’t do so has turned down God’s gifts.”
