حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، قَالَ
عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أخبرنا ، عن
أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ
عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ ، بمَجَلَسْنَا فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ فَتًى مِنَ الْقَوْمِ ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْغَزْوِ وَالْحَجِّ وَالْعُمْرَةِ ، فَجَاءَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْنَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ هَذَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوهُ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ
غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَهُ ، فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، وَشَهِدْتُ مَعَهُ الْفَتْحَ ، فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَيَقُولُ لِأَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ : " صَلُّوا أَرْبَعًا فَإِنَّا سَفْرٌ " , وَاعْتَمَرْتُ مَعَهُ ثَلَاثَ عُمَرٍ ، فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَحَجَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ , وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُمَا حَجَّاتٍ ، فَلَمْ يُصَلِّيَا إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى رَجَعَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ.
Abu Nadrah says that once Hazrat Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by our gathering, so a young man stood up and asked him about the travel prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He turned towards our gathering and said, "This young man is asking me about the travel prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so you all should also remember it well. Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) undertook a journey, he performed only two rak'ahs until his return. Even during Hajj, until his return, and on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed in Makkah for eighteen days but continued to lead the people in two rak'ahs only. Then he would say, 'O people of Makkah! You should stand up and complete the remaining two rak'ahs yourselves because we are travelers.' I performed 'Umrah with him three times, and in those as well, he performed two rak'ahs."
