Bayhaqi 5515 — Combining two prayers while travelling

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ صَاعِدٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ قَالَا: ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدَ الْعُذْرِيُّ، بِبَيْرُوتَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ ⦗٢٢٨⦘ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ أَقْبَلَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَجَاءَهُ خَبَرُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ فَأَسْرَعَ السَّيْرَ، فَلَمَّا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ لَهُ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ: الصَّلَاةَ، فَسَكَتَ، ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً، فَقَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ: الصَّلَاةَ، فَسَكَتَ، فَقَالَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ الصَّلَاةَ: إِنَّهُ لَيَعْلَمُ مِنْ هَذَا عِلْمًا لَا أَعْلَمُهُ، فَسَارَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بَعْدَمَا غَابَ الشَّفَقُ بِسَاعَةٍ، نَزَلَ فَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَكَانَ لَا يُنَادَى لِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فِي السَّفَرِ، فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ جَمِيعًا جَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا جَدَّ بِهِ السَّيْرُ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَغِيبَ الشَّفَقُ بِسَاعَةٍ، وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى ظَهْرِ رَاحِلَتِهِ أَيْنَ تَوَجَّهَتْ بِهِ السُّبْحَةَ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَيُخْبِرُهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ " قَالَ: وَقَالَ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ: " بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ فِي السَّفَرِ ". اتَّفَقَتْ رِوَايَةُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ وَمُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ وَعُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيَّ وَعُمَرَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَلَى أَنَّ جَمْعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ كَانَ بَعْدَ غَيْبُوبَةِ الشَّفَقِ، وَخَالَفَهُمْ مَنْ لَا يُدَانِيهِمْ فِي حَفِظِ أَحَادِيثِ نَافِعٍ.
Nafi' narrates from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when he was returning from Makkah, news reached him about Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Abi Ubayd (may Allah be pleased with her), so he travelled fast. When the sun set, one of his companions said: The prayer! He remained silent and kept going. Then a companion said again: The prayer! He again remained silent. Then the one who had said "The prayer" said: He knows something about this that I do not know. He kept going, and some time after the twilight had disappeared he dismounted and prayed; on a journey the call to prayer was not given for the prayer either. He combined Maghrib and Isha both, and then said: "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in haste on a journey, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would combine Maghrib and Isha after the twilight had disappeared." And he would pray voluntary prayers on his mount during the journey, whichever direction the mount faced, and he was informing them that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do the same.
Note: Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) combined these two prayers after the twilight had disappeared; the one who contradicts this is someone who has not memorised the hadiths of Nafi'.
