470. It was narrated from Ibn Al-Munkadir and Ibrāhīm bin Maisarah, that they heard Anas say: "I prayed Zuhr with the Prophet ﷺ in Al-Madīnah, four Rak'ahs, and Aṣr in Dhul-Hulaifah, two Rak'ahs."

Arabic text

469 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، سَمِعَا أَنَسًا قَالَ: «صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الظُّهْرَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَرْبَعًا وَبِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ الْعَصْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»

Commentary

In Madinah, the prayer was performed in full. Thereupon the journey was begun. Since Dhul-Hulayfah is outside of Madinah and the journey was long, upon arrival of the time for the ‘Aṣr prayer in Dhul-Hulayfah, prayer was shortened - that is to say, two Rak’ahs were performed. It should be borne in mind that this was the journey for Hajj.
