Informing the followers of the type of prayer of the traveler

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And let him say: I read in the commentary on the hadith of the actions of intentions, written by al-Baqi, of the type of the chamber and the woman. He said: Does the traveler not inform the followers? The traveler does not inform the followers of the type of prayer he is praying while he is a traveler, because his action is based on intention. We travel, and sometimes we pray the shortened prayer, and others who are residents come, or the people are praying Maghrib, or he is praying 'Isha'. Do we inform them of the type of our prayer, or do we pray and leave them to their own?

Answer:
There is no harm in that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed them, saying:
O people of Makkah, we are a traveling people, so complete your prayer for yourselvesيا اهل مكة انا قوم سفر اتموا لانفسكم
The Messenger informed them of this. There is a point of concern regarding this statement quoted from Fath al-Bari; it is contrary to the evidence. Rather, he says: I am shortening the prayer. He makes it clear to them, and when he has finished, they complete it for themselves, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did in the Battle of the Conquest. Yes.
