مُسْنَدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Musnad of Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 174 — Musnad of Umar ibn al-Khattab
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ، قُلْتُ : لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سورة النساء آية 101 ، وَقَدْ أَمَّنَ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ ؟ ! فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ : عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ ، فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : " صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ " .
Ya'la bin Umayyah says that I asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the command of shortening the prayer (qasr) in the Holy Qur'an has been given in the state of "fear," but now there is peace and security everywhere, so has this command ended? (If so, then why does this verse still exist in the Qur'an?) So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied that I was also surprised in the same way as you are, and I also asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is a charity from Allah which He has bestowed upon His servants, so accept this charity and kindness."
