Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, saying: Al-Dhahhak, meaning Abu 'Aasim, narrated to us. And Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to me, saying: 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us. Both of them said: Ibn Jurayj informed us, saying: Ibn Shihab informed me that 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Ka'b informed him from his father, 'Abd Allah ibn Ka'b, and from his uncle, 'Ubayd Allah ibn Ka'b, from Ka'b ibn Malik Sahih Muslim 716.
The Shaykh : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him. In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. We have previously mentioned the prayer of two rak'ahs for the one who enters the mosque, which is called the greeting of the mosque, and we clarified that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) at all times. And all that has a cause, what is it?

The Shaykh : There is no prohibition against it. Everything that has a cause, such as the greeting of the mosque, the sunnah of wudu', and istikharah for one who fears missing the matter, and others, is permissible. As for this chapter, it concerns the one who arrives from a journey. Before we begin, the driver of the car, the man, turns off the lights so that the battery does not run out. This is regarding the recommendation for the traveler to pray as soon as he arrives. It mentions the hadith of Jabir, and the story of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) is famous and known. He was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and he had a camel that was exhausted, meaning tired. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was accustomed to being at the rear of the group to check on the people. So he caught up with Jabir, who had this exhausted camel and had lagged behind. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) struck the camel and made a supplication, and the camel moved in a manner it had never moved before, until it was at the front of the group. However, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) asked him to sell it to him. He said, "Sell it to me for an uqiyah." Jabir said, "No." He said, "Sell it to me," and he sold it. Initially, I mean Jabir, had intended to let it go, to leave it, because it was tired and unable to walk. But when it reached this good condition, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) asked him to sell it to him, but he refused. Then he said, "Sell it to me," and he sold it.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not come back from the journey but by day in the forenoon, and when he arrived, he went first to the mosque, and having prayed two rak'ahs in it he sat down in it.
