Ya’la bin Umayyah said: I said to Sayyiduna ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him),“Allah Almighty has said: «أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ ...» [نساء: 101/4] meaning, if you fear harm from the disbelievers, then there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer. Now, security has been established.”Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“I was amazed at what you are amazed at, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘This is a charity which Allah has given to you, so accept His charity.’”
