´It was narrated from Usamah bin Zaid, whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had seated behind him on his camel on the way from 'Arafah, that when he reached the mountain pass, he dismounted and urinated - and he did not say that he passed water. He (Usamah) said:` "I poured water for him from a small vessel and he performed a light Wudu'. I said to him: 'The prayer.' He said: 'The prayer is still ahead of you.' When he came to Al-Muzdalifah he prayed Maghrib, then they untied the saddles of their mounts and then he prayed 'Isha'."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
610. Commentary:
➊ The purpose of the chapter is that if there is some interval between the Maghrib and Isha prayers—such as removing saddles, arranging luggage, or eating and drinking—then there is no harm in combining the prayers, as mentioned in the hadith.
➋ If the riding animal is strong, it is permissible to seat someone behind oneself on it. If the animal does not have the strength, then it is not permissible, because this would be oppression towards the animal.
➌ It is permissible to seek assistance from someone in performing ablution (wudu).
➍ It is not permissible to perform the Maghrib prayer on the way before reaching Muzdalifah.
➎ If two prayers are to be combined, there is no need to perform the regular Sunnah (sunan rawatib) prayers between them; only the obligatory (fard) prayers should be performed.
