Is it from the Sunnah for the imam to repeat Surat al-Zalzalah in the two rak'ahs while traveling?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the wisdom in the guidance of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in repeating al-Zalzalah while traveling, and is it a Sunnah that the imam always performs?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not that the imam always does it, but if he does it.
The presenter:
There is nothing wrong with it.
The Shaykh:
If he does it, there is nothing wrong with it. As for making it a constant practice, with every traveler doing it, that is not the case. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) traveled many journeys and did not consistently recite Surat al-Zalzalah; he only recited it at times.
