Thumamah bin Sharahil says: I came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, and said: What is the ruling regarding the prayer of a traveler? He said: It is two rak‘ahs, except for Maghrib prayer, which is three rak‘ahs. I said: What do you think, if we are in Dhu al-Majaz? He said: What is Dhu al-Majaz? I said: It is the name of a place, we gather there and buy and sell, and we stay there for fifteen or twenty nights. He said: Oh! I stayed in Azerbaijan for four or two months, I saw those people there performing two rak‘ahs of prayer, and I saw the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with my own eyes, that he too performed two rak‘ahs of prayer. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, recited this verse {لَقَدْ کَانَ لَکُمْ فِی رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ اُسْوَۃٌ حَسَنَۃٌ} meaning: Indeed, for you in the Messenger of Allah is a beautiful example. Until he finished the verse.
