Sunan an-Nasai 455 (Book 5, Hadith 8) #15063
Prayer Requirements for Travellers and Residents

SUMMARY: The Salah (prayer) was initially two Rak'ahs (units of prayer) but when one is travelling, the prayer remains two Rak'ahs while when one is resident, it increases.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Salah was enjoined two Rak'ahs at a time, then the Salah when traveling remained like that, but the Salah while resident was increased".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ فُرِضَتِ الصَّلاَةُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأُقِرَّتْ صَلاَةُ السَّفَرِ وَزِيدَ فِي صَلاَةِ الْحَضَرِ
