Combining prayers without travel or rain

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man says that a hadith has confused him, in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) combined the noon and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers at Medina without any danger and rain.جمع بين صلاة الظهر والعصر والمغرب والعشاء من غير سفر ولا مطر
Sunan Abi Dawud 1211Sahih (Al-Albani)
?

Answer:
This is a confusing and general hadith, and one should refer to the established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which states that he did not combine prayers except for illness or travel. Therefore, this hadith is understood in light of what is established in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that combining is done either for travel or for illness, as in the verse "if you are ill or on a journey." Yes.
