It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was asked about the times of prayers, so he said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "The time for the Fajr prayer is from the appearance of dawn until sunrise," then he mentioned the times for all the prayers. Then he said that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: "I performed eight rak‘ahs (the first prayer—Dhuhr—and ‘Asr) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah." The narrator stated: Jabir bin Zaid was asked about the prayer of a traveler, so he said: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he traveled with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) from Madinah to Makkah; all of them, from the time they departed Madinah until they returned from Makkah, during the journey and while staying in Makkah, would perform two rak‘ahs (qasr prayer). And Sayyidah ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform two rak‘ahs of prayer in Makkah before the migration; when he came to Madinah, four rak‘ahs were made obligatory upon him, and his prayer in Makkah (two rak‘ahs) was prescribed for the traveler.
