How did the Prophet pray while traveling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question asks: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pray anything other than the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) while traveling?

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray the night prayer while traveling. He would pray the night prayer, the tahajjud, wherever his mount took him; he would pray it while moving along the road, wherever his mount took him (peace and blessings be upon him). He would also pray the regular voluntary prayer before Fajr; he did not leave the regular voluntary prayer before Fajr. As for the rest of the regular voluntary prayers, meaning he does not pray them if the obligatory prayer is shortened, are the regular voluntary prayers that accompany it not prayed? Yes. Except for the prayer of Fajr.
