Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I accompanied the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on eighteen journeys—I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) leaving two rak‘ahs at the time of the sun’s decline (zawal) during these journeys. In the narration of Yunus bin Abdullah, the words are: I never saw him (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) leaving two rak‘ahs before Zuhr.
