وَالدَّلِيلُ عَلَى أَنَّ قَوْلَهَا: إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ أَوَّلُ مَا افْتُرِضَتْ رَكْعَتَانِ أَرَادَتْ بَعْضَ الصَّلَاةِ دُونَ جَمِيعِهَا «أَرَادَتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ دُونَ الْمَغْرِبِ، وَكَذَلِكَ أَرَادَتْ، ثُمَّ زِيدَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْحَضَرِ ثَلَاثَ صَلَوَاتٍ خَلَا الْفَجْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، وَالدَّلِيلُ عَلَى أَنَّ قَوْلَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ فِي الْحَضَرِ أَرْبَعًا، إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ خَلَا الْفَجْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، وَكَذَلِكَ أَرَادُوا فِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَلَا الْمَغْرِبِ، وَهَذَا مِنَ الْجِنْسِ الَّذِي نَقُولُ فِي كُتُبِنَا مَنْ أَلْفَاظِ الْعَامِّ الَّتِي يُرَادُ بِهَا الْخَاصُّ»
By this, the Prophet ﷺ meant some prayers, not all. The Prophet ﷺ meant four prayers other than the Maghrib prayer. Similarly, when the Prophet ﷺ said, "Then an addition was made in the prayer during residence," by this the Prophet ﷺ meant the three prayers other than Fajr and Maghrib. And the explanation of the evidence for the statement of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Allah Almighty made four rak‘ahs obligatory upon you through the tongue of your Prophet ﷺ during residence, by this the Prophet ﷺ meant the prayers other than Maghrib and Fajr. Likewise, when he said that in travel there are two rak‘ahs, he meant the prayers other than Maghrib. This is of the same kind as when we say in our books that these words are general but their meaning is specific.
