[1633] 54 - (705) It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ joined Zuhr with ʿAsr, and Maghrib with Ishā, in Al-Madīnah when there was no fear and no rain." According to the Ḥadīth of Wakīʿ he said: "I said to Ibn 'Abbās: 'Why did he do that?' He said: 'So that his Ummah would not be subjected to hardship.'"
