592. It was narrated that Ismâ'il bin 'Abdur-Rahmân, a Shaikh of the Quraish, said: "I accompanied Ibn 'Umar to Al-Hima.[1] When the sun set I felt too nervous to remind him of the prayer, so he went on until the light on the horizon had disappeared and it was getting dark, then he stopped and prayed Maghrib, three Rak'ahs, then he prayed two Rak'ahs immediately afterwards, then he said: 'This is what I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ do.'" (Sahih)
591 - أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ شَيْخٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ: صَحِبْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ إِلَى الْحِمَى، فَلَمَّا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ هِبْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ لَهُ الصَّلَاةَ «فَسَارَ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ بَيَاضُ الْأُفُقِ وَفَحْمَةُ الْعِشَاء، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ عَلَى إِثْرِهَا». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُ»

[1] A place near Madīnah.
From the apparent wording, we get to know that he adopted the form of combination of two prayers by delaying the preceding one (Jam' Ta'khir). It means that after the expiration of the time for the sunset prayer and after the arrival of the time for the late-evening prayer (Ishâ'), he offered both these prayers together. So to say, the delayed combination (Jam Ta'khir) is permissible while one is travelling because it makes matters easy for people. And Allâh Knows best!!
