Ya'la bin Umayyah reports: I said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): People are performing shortened prayers (qasr) while Allah Almighty has stated: "If you fear that the disbelievers may put you to trial." But now that situation no longer exists. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was also surprised at this until I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, and he said: "It is a charity which Allah Almighty has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity."
