1202. It was reported from Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir and Ibrāhīm bin Maisarah, that they heard Anas bin Mālik saying: “I prayed Zuhr with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ four Rak'ahs while (we were) in Al-Madīnah, and then Asr as two Rak'ahs at Dhūl- Hulaifah.” (Sahih)
1202 - حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، سَمِعَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: «صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الظُّهْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرْبَعًا، وَالْعَصْرَ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»

A prayer shall be shortened only after a person has set out on a journey and is beyond the city limits. Dhul-Hulaifah is about ten kilometers from Al-Madīnah, and is the first stop on the way to Makkah.
