Yahya bin Yazid Hanai says: I asked Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) about the shortened prayer (Qasr Salah) and said that I go towards Kufa and keep offering two rak'ahs of prayer until I return. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer two rak'ahs of prayer when he went out for a distance of three miles or three farsakhs. Imam Shu'bah was uncertain about this.
