حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِذَا لَمْ تُدْرِكْ الصَّلَاةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ كَمْ تُصَلِّي بِالْبَطْحَاءِ قَالَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تِلْكَ سُنَّةُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1996
It was narrated that Moosa bin Salamah said: I said to Ibn 'Abbas: If you do not catch up with the prayer in the mosque, how many ( rak'ahs ) do you pray in al- Batha'? He said: Two rak'ahs. That is the way of the Prophet (PBUH).
