Time for Fajr prayer and shortening prayer during travel
Hadith 124
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، نا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ هَرِمٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِ الصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: صَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ مِنْ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ شُعَاعِ الشَّمْسِ، فَذَكَرَ الْمَوَاقِيتَ كُلَّهَا، وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ الْأُولَى وَالْعَصْرَ ثَمَانِي سَجَدَاتٍ قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ جَابِرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْمُسَافِرِ، فَقَالَ: زَعَمَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ سَافَرَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، فَكُلُّهُمْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ حِينِ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ فِي الْمَسِيرِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ بِمَكَّةَ، قَالَ: وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِمَكَّةَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْهِجْرَةِ، فَلَمَّا أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ فُرِضَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعًا، وَجَعَلَ صَلَاتَهُ بِمَكَّةَ لِلْمُسَافِرِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was asked about the times of prayers, so he said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "The time for the Fajr prayer is from the appearance of dawn until sunrise," then he mentioned the times for all the prayers. Then he said that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: "I performed eight rak‘ahs (the first prayer—Dhuhr—and ‘Asr) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah." The narrator stated: Jabir bin Zaid was asked about the prayer of a traveler, so he said: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he traveled with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) from Madinah to Makkah; all of them, from the time they departed Madinah until they returned from Makkah, during the journey and while staying in Makkah, would perform two rak‘ahs (qasr prayer). And Sayyidah ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform two rak‘ahs of prayer in Makkah before the migration; when he came to Madinah, four rak‘ahs were made obligatory upon him, and his prayer in Makkah (two rak‘ahs) was prescribed for the traveler.
