Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) undertook a journey and stayed (in Makkah) for nineteen days, and he used to perform prayers of two rak‘ahs each. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: This is why, when we stay for nineteen days during a journey, we perform two rak‘ahs, but when we stay for more days than that, we perform four rak‘ahs.
