Hadith 3268
اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْعُقَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مُزَاحِمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ سَافَرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَحِينَ أَقَامَ أَرْبَعًا ، قَالَ : قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَمَنْ صَلَّى فِي السَّفَرِ أَرْبَعًا ، كَمَنْ صَلَّى فِي الْحَضَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، قَالَ : وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَمْ يَقْصُرْ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ، حَيْثُ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَصَلَّى النَّاسُ رَكْعَةً رَكْعَةً " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two rak'ahs during travel and four rak'ahs during residence. Therefore, whoever prays four rak'ahs during travel is like someone who prays two rak'ahs during residence. He also said that the shortening of the prayer happened only once, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led two rak'ahs, which the Mujahideen performed as one rak'ah each, following the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
