حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ حَدَّثَنَا بُكَيْرُ بْنُ الْأَخْنَسِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَرَضَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ عَلَى الْمُقِيمِ أَرْبَعًا وَعَلَى الْمُسَافِرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَعَلَى الْخَائِفِ رَكْعَةً
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2124
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that Allah (may He be glorified and exalted) enjoined the duty of prayer on the lips of your Prophet, four ( rak'ahs ) for the non- traveller, two rak'ahs for the traveller, and one rak'ah for the one who is in a state of fear.
