The Book of the Prayer of the Traveler and Its Shortening-01b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and 'Amr al-Naqid both narrated to us from al-Qasim ibn Malik. 'Amr said: Al-Qasim ibn Malik al-Muzani narrated to us from Ayub ibn 'A'idh al-Tai from Bakiyr ibn al-Akhnas from Mujahid from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: Sahih Muslim 687b.
The Shaykh : This report mentioned by Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) has a problem from two aspects. The first aspect is that it indicates that shortening the prayer is obligatory, just as completing it while resident is obligatory. The second aspect indicates that the prayer in fear is to be one rak'ah. What is the answer? We say that the answer to the first point is like the answer to the hadith of 'A'ishah mentioned previously, meaning that Allah ... the prayer of travel on the first obligatory prayer did not increase in it. As for the second problem, which is that the prayer in fear is one rak'ah, yes, in some forms of the prayer, the prayer in fear is to be one rak'ah for the followers and two rak'ahs for the imam. This would be one of the forms that the prayer in fear came in, because the prayer in fear was reported in several forms, six or seven forms. Imam Ahmad said they are all permissible, but the basic principle of our school is that fear has no effect on reducing the number of rak'ahs, but only affects the postures. However, the correct view is that it does have an effect on reducing the number of rak'ahs, because the Sunnah came with that. Yes.
Allah has prescribed the prayer by the tongue of your Apostle (ﷺ) as two rak'ahs for the traveller, four for the resident, and one in danger.
