(1571) The travelers’ prayer and shortening it
A'isha, the wife of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), reported: The prayer was prescribed as two rak'ahs, two rak'ahs both in journey and at the place of residence. The prayer while travelling remained as it was (originally prescribed), but an addition was made in the prayer (observed) at the place of residence.
