Hadith 146
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، قَالَ: ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيةٍ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: {لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ} وَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ».
Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I asked Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) about this verse: «لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ» (If you are in a state of fear, there is no sin on you to shorten the prayer), but now people are in peace (so now one should not shorten the prayer). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was also surprised like you, so I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a charity that Allah Almighty has given to you, so accept His charity.
