(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنِي عَبْد اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : وَجَدْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي , حَدَّثَنَا
حَجَّاجٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي السَّفَرِ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ شُفَيٍّ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّهُمْ جَعَلُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي السَّفَرِ ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once some people began to ask him about the prayer during travel. He said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), after leaving his home until he returned, used to perform only two rak‘ahs (shortened prayer).
