English translation

455. Abû 'Amr – meaning, Al-Awzâ'î – said that he asked Az-Zuhrî about the prayer of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ in Makkah before the Hijrah to Al-Madinah. He said: "Urwah told me that 'Aishah said: 'Allâh enjoined the ṣalâh upon the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and the first thing that He enjoined was two Rak'ahs at a time, then it was made complete four Rak'ahs while in the state of residence resident but the prayer when traveling remained two Rak'ahs, as it was first enjoined." (Ṣahîh)

Arabic text

454 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ الْبَعْلَبَكِّيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا الْوَلِيدُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ الزُّهْرِيَّ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ قَبْلَ الْهِجْرَةِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ. قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَّلَ مَا فَرَضَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ أُتِمَّتْ فِي الْحَضَرِ أَرْبَعًا، وَأُقِرَّتْ صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ عَلَى الْفَرِيضَةِ الْأُولَى»

Commentary

In this Hadîth, some detail of the same preceding Hadîth has occurred. That means the question was concerning the prayer of the Makkah life (before the Ascension). Because according to the authenticated statement, the Ascension took place only six months before the emigration or the Hijrah. Due to their proximity in terms of time, the Ascension and the emigration to Madinah were thought one. Now the meaning is clear as has been shown in the commentary to Hadîth No. 454 above.
