SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 20: SHORTENING THE PRAYERS (AT-TAQSEER)
Volume 2, Book 20, Number 197:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
“I saw Allah’s Apostle delaying the Maghrib prayer till he offered it along with the ‘Isha’ prayer
whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.” Salim narrated, “Ibn ‘Umar used to do the same
whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.” And Salim added, “Ibn ‘Umar used to pray the
Maghrib and ‘Isha’ prayers together in Al-Muzdalifa.” Salim said, “Ibn ‘Umar delayed the Maghrib
prayer because at that time he heard the news of the death of his wife Safiya bint Abi ‘Ubaid. I said to
him, ‘The prayer (is due).’ He said, ‘Go on.’ Again I said, ‘The prayer (is due).’ He said, ‘Go on,’ till we
covered two or three miles. Then he got down, prayed and said, ‘I saw the Prophet praying in this
way, whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.’ ‘Abdullah (bin ‘Umar) added, “Whenever the
Prophet was in a hurry, he used to delay the Maghrib prayer and then offer three Rakat (of the
Maghrib) and perform Taslim, and after waiting for a short while, Iqama used to be pronounced for
the ‘Isha’ prayer when he would offer two Rakat and perform Taslim. He would never offer any op –
tional prayer till the middle of the night (when he used to pray the Tahajjud).”
