He went on travelling until the twilight disappeared and the stars became thick. He then slighted and combined the two prayers. Then he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ; when he hastened his travelling, he would pray like this prayer of mine. He said: He would combine the two prayers after the passing of a part of night.

If he moved off after the evening prayer, he would offer the night prayer earlier and offer it along with the evening prayer.
