Abu Qalabah says: Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, and to my knowledge he was narrating a marfu’ (attributed to the Prophet) narration: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) halted at a place during a journey and that place pleased him, he would stay there and combine the Zuhr and Asr prayers and perform them together. And when he was traveling and did not find a suitable place to halt, he would continue traveling and delay Zuhr until he reached a place, then he would combine and perform Zuhr and Asr together.
