1434. It was narrated that Ya'la bin Umayyah said: "I said to 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb: 'There is no sin on you if you shorten Ṣalāh and if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you).[1] But now the people are safe.' 'Umar said: 'I wondered the same thing, so I asked the Messenger of Allāh about that and he said: This is a favor from Allāh to you, so accept His favor.' (Ṣaḥīḥ)
1433 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ {لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا} مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا، فَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ، فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ»

In the above-mentioned Verse, apparently fear and traveling both have been deemed conditions for shortening the ritual prayer. Hence, this question is contextual. But, by the Prophet's ﷺ answer the matter becomes manifest that when the command for shortening the prayer descended, in that particular time they were still traveling and there was fear also. But later on, the condition of fear was repealed.
