The Book of the Prayer of the Traveler and Its Shortening-02a

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Yahya ibn Habib narrated it to us, saying: Khalid, meaning ibn al-Harith, narrated to us. And Ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, saying: 'Abd al-Samad narrated to me. Both of them said: Shu'bah narrated to us with this chain of narration, but they did not say in the hadith "at Mina," rather they said:
He prayed while traveling صلى في السفر
.
Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, saying: 'Abd al-Wahid narrated to us from al-A'mash, saying: Ibrahim narrated to us...

The Shaykh : ...which one do we take? The one who said "he prayed while traveling" or the one who said "he prayed at Mina"?
The student: At Mina.

The Shaykh : At Mina, because it is more specific, and the more specific one carries additional knowledge. Then, the phrase "the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed while traveling, the prayer of the traveler" contains some confusion, because "he prayed while traveling, the prayer of the traveler" is a known matter that does not need to be mentioned. Therefore, the narration
He prayed at Mina صلى في منى
is more correct, and it may be said that this other narration is anomalous. Yes.
