English translation

454. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The first time the Ṣalâh was enjoined it was two Rak'ahs, and it remained as such when traveling, but the Ṣalâh while resident was made complete." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

453 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «أَوَّلَ مَا فُرِضَتِ الصَّلَاةُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأُقِرَّتْ صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ وَأُتِمَّتْ صَلَاةُ الْحَضَرِ»

Commentary

The ritual prayer in this Hadîth connotes obligatory prayers other than the Maghrib and the Fajr prayers, because these prayers do not alter while traveling or non-traveling. Maghrib (the sunset prayer) in every condition consists of three Rak'ahs, while Fajr (the dawn prayer) always consists of two Rak'ahs.
