حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ سَافَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَقَامَ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَنَحْنُ إِذَا سَافَرْنَا فَأَقَمْنَا تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ صَلَّيْنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا أَقَمْنَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ صَلَّيْنَا أَرْبَعًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1958
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) went on a journey and stayed for nineteen days, offering the prayers two [rak'ahs] by two. Ibn 'Abbas said: When we travelled and stayed for nineteen days, we offered the prayers two [rak'ahs] by two, but if we stayed longer than that, we offered the prayers with four [rak'ahs].
