أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشُّعَيْثِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ کَيْفَ تَقْصُرُ الصَّلَاةَ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيْسَ عَلَيْکُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَانَا وَنَحْنُ ضُلَّالٌ فَعَلَّمَنَا فَکَانَ فِيمَا عَلَّمَنَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ رَکْعَتَيْنِ فِي السَّفَرِ قَالَ الشُّعَيْثِيُّ وَکَانَ الزُّهْرِيُّ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرٍ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 460
It was narrated that Umayyah bin ‘Abdullah bin Khalid bin Asid said to Ibn ‘Umar: “How can the Salah be shortened as Allah says: There is no sin on you if you shorten As-salah (the prayer) if you are in fear.?” Ibn ‘Umar said: “son of my brother! The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم came to us when we had gone astray and he taught us. One of the things that he taught us was that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has commanded us to pray two Rak’ahs when traveling.” (Hasan)
