Bayhaqi 5514 — Combining two prayers while travelling

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ اسْتُصْرِخَ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ وَهِيَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَأَقْبَلَ فَسَارَ حَتَّى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَبَدَتِ النُّجُومُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَصْحَبُهُ: الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ، فَسَارَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ سَالِمٌ: الصَّلَاةَ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا عَجِلَ بِهِ أَمْرٌ فِي سَفَرٍ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ ". فَسَارَ حَتَّى إِذْ غَابَ الشَّفَقُ جَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا، وَسَارَ مَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ ثَلَاثًا ". وَرَوَاهُ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ وَمُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ: فَأَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ بَعْدَ ذَهَابِ الشَّفَقِ، حَتَّى ذَهَبَ هَوَى مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ، وَقَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ إِذَا جَدَّ بِهِ السَّيْرُ أَوْ حَزِبَهُ أَمْرٌ ". وَرَوَاهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ سَارَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ رُبْعِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى.
(a) Nafi' narrates from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he was called urgently to Safiyyah bint Abi Ubayd while he was in Makkah and she was in Madinah. He set out and travelled until the sun had set and the stars had appeared. A man who was with him said: The prayer! The prayer! Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) kept going. Salim said: The prayer! He said: "When some matter pressed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, he would combine these two prayers." Then he travelled on, and after the twilight had disappeared he combined the two, and he travelled between Makkah and Madinah in three days.
(b) Musa bin Uqbah narrates from Nafi', and at the end of the hadith it says that he delayed Maghrib until after the twilight had gone, until part of the night had passed; then he dismounted and prayed Maghrib and Isha, and said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to do this when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in haste on a journey or some serious matter befell him."
(c) Yahya bin Sa'id al-Ansari narrates from Nafi' that when about a quarter of the night had passed, he dismounted and prayed.
