Hadith 1090

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتِ : " الصَّلَاةُ أَوَّلُ مَا فُرِضَتْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، فَأُقِرَّتْ صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ وَأُتِمَّتْ صَلَاةُ الْحَضَرِ " ، قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : فَقُلْتُ لِعُرْوَةَ : مَا بَالُ عَائِشَةَ تُتِمُّ ، قَالَ : تَأَوَّلَتْ مَا تَأَوَّلَ عُثْمَانُ .
Narrated `Aisha: "When the prayers were first enjoined they were of two rak`at each. Later the prayer in a journey was kept as it was but the prayers for non-travelers were completed." Az-Zuhri said, "I asked `Urwa what made Aisha pray the full prayers (in journey)." He replied, "She did the same as `Uthman did."
