وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ " كَانَ يَقْصُرُ الصَّلَاةَ فِي مِثْلِ مَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ ، وَالطَّائِفِ ، وَفِي مِثْلِ مَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ ، وَعُسْفَانَ ، وَفِي مِثْلِ مَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ ، وَجُدَّةَ " . ¤ قَالَ مَالِك : وَذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَةُ بُرُدٍ وَذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ مَا تُقْصَرُ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ الصَّلَاةُ
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, used to shorten the prayer for a distance as much as that between Makkah and Ta’if, and as much as that between Makkah and Usfan, and as much as that between Makkah and Jeddah.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I like very much, in the matter of shortening (the prayer), and all these distances are four barid each.
