(Second chain of narration) Whenever the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, undertook a journey, he performed only two rak‘ahs of prayer until he returned. On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, he stayed in Makkah for eighteen nights and led the people in two rak‘ahs of prayer, except for Maghrib. Then he would say to the residents: O people of Makkah! Stand up and perform two more rak‘ahs, for we are travelers. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, performed two rak‘ahs in the Battle of Hunayn and the Battle of Ta’if. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, returned towards Ji‘irrana, and from there performed ‘Umrah in the month of Dhu al-Qa‘dah. (During these journeys, he continued to perform shortened prayers.) Then I performed jihad, Hajj, and ‘Umrah with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, and he too performed only two rak‘ahs except for Maghrib. (After that, I did the same) with Sayyiduna ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, and he too performed only two rak‘ahs. Then Sayyiduna ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, in the beginning of his caliphate, also performed (shortened prayers) in the same way, but after that he started performing four rak‘ahs.
