"When the prayers were first enjoined they were of two rak`at each. Later the prayer in a journey was
kept as it was but the prayers for non-travelers were completed." Az-Zuhri said, "I asked `Urwa what
made Aisha pray the full prayers (in journey)." He replied, "She did the same as `Uthman did."

"I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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 rak`at (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 rak`at and perform Taslim. He would never offer any
optional prayer till the middle of the night (when he used to pray the Tahajjud)."
