Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Jabir bin Zaid narrates from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: I have performed eight (rak‘ahs) together and seven (rak‘ahs) together with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The narrator says: I said, O Abu Sha‘sha‘! In my opinion, he delayed Zuhr and performed ‘Asr early (so eight rak‘ahs were performed together), and delayed Maghrib and performed ‘Isha early (so seven rak‘ahs were performed together). He said: That is also my opinion.

Hazrat Salim narrates from his father that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to travel, he would combine the Maghrib and Isha prayers.

It is narrated from Hazrat Muadh bin Jabal that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined the Zuhr and Asr prayers, and the Maghrib and Isha prayers during the journey of the Battle of Tabuk.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined the Zuhr and Asr, and the Maghrib and Isha prayers during the Battle of Tabuk.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hafs bin Ubaidullah bin Anas, he says that we used to travel towards Makkah with Hazrat Anas. So when the sun would decline and Hazrat Anas was staying at a place, he would not mount (his ride) before performing the Zuhr prayer. And when he would mount in the evening and the time for Asr was present, he would perform Asr. But if he had departed from his place before the sun's decline and the time for prayer arrived and we would say, "Prayer?" he would say: "Keep moving." Until when it was between the two prayers, he would dismount and combine Zuhr and Asr, and then say that I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he would travel continuously from morning till evening, he would do likewise.

It is narrated from the grandfather of Hazrat Amr bin Shu'aib that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined two prayers during the Battle of Banu Mustaliq. And (Imam) Abu Hanifa's opinion has been mentioned that: this act is not sufficient for the one who does so.
