Bayhaqi 1697 — The number of rak'ahs of the five prayers

وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ السُّوسِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ ثنا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ثنا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ الزُّهْرِيُّ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُهَاجِرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: " فَرَضَ اللهُ الصَّلَاةَ أَوَّلَ مَا فَرَضَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَتَمَّهَا فِي الْحَضَرِ وَأُقِرَّتْ صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ عَلَى الْفَرِيضَةِ الْأُولَى " وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا.
Imam al-Awza'i (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Imam al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: How was the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah before he emigrated to Madinah? He said: Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) informed me from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "Allah made the prayer obligatory; at first He made it obligatory as two rak'ahs, then He completed it for those who are resident, and the prayer of travel was kept on the original obligation."
