476 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابِنْ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ سَفَرٍ وَلَا خَوْفٍ ثَمَانِيًا جَمِيعًا وَسَبْعًا جَمِيعًا» قُلْتُ: لِمَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ: أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: In Madinah Munawwarah, I performed eight rak‘ahs together and seven rak‘ahs together behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), other than during travel (i.e., in a state of residence) and without any fear. The narrator says: I asked my teacher, “Why did the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) do this?” He replied: I think the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted that he should not put his ummah in difficulty.
