482. It was narrated that Salamah bin Kuhail said: "I saw Sa'eed bin Jubair in Jam'.[1] He stood and prayed Maghrib, three Rak'ahs, then he stood and prayed 'Ishā', two Rak'ahs. Then he mentioned that Ibn 'Umar had done the same thing in that place, and he mentioned that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had done the same thing in that place. (Sahīh)
481 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ «بِجَمْعٍ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ، ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى يَعْنِي الْعِشَاءَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ صَنَعَ بِهِمْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ»

[1] That is, Muḥammad bin Ishāq narrated it from Yazīd bin Abī Ḥabīb with the following chain and wording, which differs with this narration, reported by Al-Laith from Yazīd.
The Maghrib prayer shall always consist of three Rak'ahs, regardless of whether one is traveling or is at home. This is because it is the daytime odd-numbered prayer (Witr). It is not possible to halve it. If two Rak'ahs are prayed, it would not remain odd-numbered, while the 'Ishā' prayer should consist of two Rak'ahs while one is traveling.
