(وَعَنْهَا مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَتْ: قَدْ فُرِضَتِ الصَّلَاةُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِمَكَّةَ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ زَادَ مَعَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ إِلَّا الْمَغْرِبَ فَإِنَّهَا وَتْرُ النَّهَارِ، وَصَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ لِطُولِ قِرَاءَتِهَا، قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ صَلَّى الصَّلَاةَ الْأُوْلَى
(Second chain of narration) She says: In Makkah, the prayers were made obligatory as two rak‘ahs each. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to Madinah, two more rak‘ahs were added to each prayer, except for the Maghrib prayer, because it is the witr of the day, and except for the Fajr prayer, because its recitation is lengthy. Sayyidah Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, further says: When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was on a journey, he would perform the earlier (shortened) prayer.
