حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ طَاوُسًا عَنْ السُّبْحَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ قَالَ وَكَانَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَنَّاقٍ جَالِسًا فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ وَطَاوُسٌ يَسْمَعُ حَدَّثَنَا طَاوُسٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْحَضَرِ وَالسَّفَرِ فَكَمَا تُصَلِّي فِي الْحَضَرِ قَبْلَهَا وَبَعْدَهَا فَصَلِّ فِي السَّفَرِ قَبْلَهَا وَبَعْدَهَا قَالَ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً وَصَلِّهَا فِي السَّفَرِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2064
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah enjoined prayer when travelling and not travelling. Just as (nafl) prayers are offered when not travelling, before and after (the obligatory prayer), they should also be offered when travelling, before and after (the obligatory prayer).
