Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: In Madinah Munawwarah, I performed eight rak‘ahs together and seven rak‘ahs together behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), other than during travel (i.e., in a state of residence) and without any fear. The narrator says: I asked my teacher,“Why did the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) do this?”He replied: I think the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted that he should not put his ummah in difficulty.
