1070 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فِي السَّفَرِ»

Commentary
a. Combining two prayers at a time while traveling is as good a permission and provision as shortening the prayer during journeys in Islam. b. Combining the two prayers while traveling could take either of the two forms: (i) delaying the first of the two prayers until it is time for the next prayer, which is to say: performing the Zuhr prayer along with 'Asr and Maghrib with 'Ishâ'. This is called Jam'u Ta'khir (combining through delaying), or (ii) forwarding the second prayer and performing it at the time prescribed for the first, i.e., performing the 'Asr prayer along with Zuhr and 'Ishâ' prayer with Maghrib. This is known as Jam'u Taqdim (combining through forwarding). (See Jami' At-Tirmidhi: H. 553).
