1063 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: «صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَانِ، وَالْجُمُعَةُ رَكْعَتَانِ، وَالْعِيدُ رَكْعَتَانِ، تَمَامٌ غَيْرُ قَصْرٍ» عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Commentary
a. Shortening of the prayer by the worshipers while traveling does not mean the shortening of the reward by Allāh, who will bestow the reward of four Rak'ah even for the shortened prayer of two Rak'ah. b. Friday prayer, though performed at the time of Zuhr, is only two obligatory Rak'ah instead of four.
