598. Kathîr bin Qârawanda said: "We asked Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh about prayer while traveling. We said: 'Did 'Abdullâh combine any of his prayers while traveling?' He said: 'No, except at Jam'.'[1] Then he paused, and said: 'Safiyyah was married to him, and she sent word to him that she was in her last day in this world and the first day in the Hereafter. So he rode off in a hurry, and I was with him. The time for prayer came and the Mu'adhhdhin said to him: 'The prayer, O Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân!' But he kept going until it was between the time for the two prayers. Then he stopped and said to the Mu'adhthin: "Say the Iqâmah, and when I say the Taslîm at the end of Zuhr, say the Iqâmah (again) straight away." So he said the Iqâmah and he prayed Zuhr, two Rak'ahs, then he said the Iqâmah (again) straight away, and he prayed Asr, two Rak'ahs. Then he rode off quickly until the sun set and the Mu'adhthin said to him: "The prayer, O Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân!" He said: "Do what you did before." He rode on until the stars appeared, then he stopped and said: "Say the Iqâmah, then when I say the Taslîm, say the Iqâmah. So he said the Iqâmah and he prayed Maghrib, three Rak'ahs, then he said the Iqâmah (again) straight away and he prayed Ishâ', then he said one Taslîm, turning his face. Then he said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If any one of you has an urgent need that he fears he may miss, let him pray like this.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
