Chapter on the obligatory prayer follower behind one praying voluntary, and the resident behind the traveler
Hadith 2604
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي قَوْمَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِهِمْ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) would first perform the 'Isha prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then he would go to his people and lead them in the 'Isha prayer.
Hadith 2605
عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُّ مَعَهُ (يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) الْفَتْحَ فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَقُولُ لِأَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ: ((صَلُّوا أَرْبَعًا فَإِنَّا سَفَرٌ))
Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain رضي الله عنه says: I was with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم at the time of the conquest of Makkah. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم stayed in Makkah for eighteen days. During this time, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم continued to perform two rak‘ahs (i.e., shortened prayer), and he would say to the people of the city (the residents): You should perform four rak‘ahs, because we are travelers.
