How to reconcile the report that the traveler completes the prayer after four days with the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shortened the prayer for nineteen days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May I ask about the two, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, one by one.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The doubt is that I read in the Sahih of Imam Muslim that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined the prayers for nineteen days,
The Shaykh : Combined the prayers for Ibn 'Abbas?
The questioner : Combined and shortened for nineteen days, and in a narration from 'A'ishah it was eleven. My doubt is how we reconcile the fact that if a person intends to stay, he prays the prayer of the resident, with the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined.
The Shaykh : Why are you rushing, Abu Faris?
The questioner : That is why I called it a doubt.
The Shaykh : Why are you rushing in narrating the hadith? Does the hadith have anything to do with combining?
The questioner : And shortening is what the brother asked about regarding the duration of shortening.
The Shaykh : What do you want from the brother? What is your doubt? You are narrating the hadith about combining, but the hadith has nothing to do with combining. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) shortened.
The questioner : Shortening is not linked to combining. Combining or shortening?
The Shaykh : It is not necessary, my brother. Shortening is the default ruling and combining is a dispensation. The hadith you are mentioning from Ibn 'Abbas has nothing to do with combining. We mentioned that one; this one has to do with shortening.
The questioner : Well, let us be, Shaykh, please benefit us on this point.
The Shaykh : I am telling you what your doubt is. I have corrected the narration for you now. You mentioned a narration about combining: the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas about combining and the hadith of 'A'ishah about combining. There is no such thing. It is only about shortening.
The questioner : My doubt was that I was confused between combining and shortening, or just shortening. So the doubt is gone. Let us return to the question.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, one by one.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The doubt is that I read in the Sahih of Imam Muslim that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) combined the prayers for nineteen days,
