٣٠٣٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَابَاهُ ، عَنْ ‌يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ: «قُلْتُ»: ‌لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّمَا قَالَ اللهُ: {أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ} وَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ، فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

It is also extremism and exaggeration in the matters of Religion that benefiting from the concessions and flexible rules of the Religion is considered against piety and righteousness. Therefore the benefits of these flexible rules, according to the circumstances, must not be avoided and ignored. Shortening the prayer during a journey is better but not compulsory, according to Imām Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal and most of the scholars of Hadīth. [Sahīh Muslim (with Nawawī's Commentary): p. 241, vol. 1]
