Ya’la bin Umayyah said: I said to Sayyiduna ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), “Allah Almighty has said: «أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ ...» [نساء: 101/4] meaning, if you fear harm from the disbelievers, then there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer. Now, security has been established.” Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I was amazed at what you are amazed at, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘This is a charity which Allah has given to you, so accept His charity.’”
