Chapter 8: Namaaz-e-Musafir

Namaaz of A Traveller

Allah Almighty says

وَ اِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِی الۡاَرْضِ فَلَیۡسَ عَلَیۡکُمْ جُنَاحٌ اَنۡ تَقْصُرُوۡا مِنَ الصَّلٰوۃِ ٭ۖ اِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَنۡ یَّفْتِنَکُمُ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا

‘And when you travel on the earth, there is no sin upon you for shortening your Namaaz, if you fear that the unbelievers may cause you harm.’ [Surah Nisa, Verse 101]

Hadith 1: It is in Sahih Muslim Shareef (that) Ya’la bin Umayya رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ says, ‘I said to Ameer ul Momineen Farooq-e-Azam رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Allah Almighty says

اَنۡ تَقْصُرُوۡا مِنَ الصَّلٰوۃِ ٭ۖ اِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَنۡ یَّفْتِنَکُمُ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا

But now the people are in the state or Security (i.e. so there should be no need for Qasr). He said, ‘I was astonished by this and asked Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم about this’, (so) He  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘This is a Sadqa which Allah Almighty has given (as aid) to you, Accept His Sadqa’.’

Hadith 2: It is reported in Sahih Bukhari and Muslim that Haaritha bin Wahab Khaza’i رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ says that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم performed (led) 2 Raka’ats of Namaaz in Mina, we were neither in such large numbers, and nor were we in such peace before.

Hadith 3: It is in Sahihain from Anas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم performed 4 Raka’ats of Zuhr in Madina, and in Zil Hulaifa he  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم performed 2 Raka’ats of Asr.

Hadith 4: It is reported in Tirmizi Shareef from Abdullah ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما where he says, ‘I performed Namaaz with Nabi  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم at home and on journey. As a resident I performed 4 Raka’ats of Zuhr followed by 2 Raka’ats, and during a journey, I read (with Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم ) 2 Raka’ats of Zuhr, followed by 2 Raka’ats and in Asr we performed 2 Raka’ats, which was followed by nothing else, and in Maghrib we always performed 3 Raka’ats whether resident or on a journey. Whilst a resident and whilst on a journey, (Huzoor  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم) did not perform Qasr (shorten the Namaaz) of Maghrib, and after it 2 Raka’at was performed.’

Hadith 5: It is in Sahihain from Ummul Momineen A’isha Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that (initially) 2 Raka’ats of Namaaz was made Fard, and when Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم made Hijrat (migrated to Madina), then 4 Raka’ats were made Fard, and the Namaaz of a journey was left on the initial 2 Raka’ats.

Hadith 6: It is in Sahih Muslim from Abdullah ibn Ab’bas رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Almighty Allah made 4 Raka’ats Fard for a resident, by the word of Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم , and on a journey 2 Raka’ats (were made Fard), and in the case of ‘Khauf’ (i.e. when facing fear or Danger) 1 Raka’at (was made Fard when reading behind an Imam).

Hadith 7: Ibn Majah reported from Abdullah ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم stipulated 2 Raka’ats for Namaaz of a Journey and this is full and not less. (In other words, even though apparently 2 Raka’ats have been lessened, but in Thawaab 2 Raka’ats is equivalent to the 4 Raka’ats).
