Sahih al-Bukhari 1805 (Book 26, Hadith 30) #1728
Combining Maghrib and 'Isha' Prayers While Travelling

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) would delay the Maghrib prayer and join it with the 'Isha' prayer when he had to hasten while travelling.

Narrated Zaid bin Aslam from his father: I was with Ibn 'Umar on the way to Mecca, and he got the news that Safiya bint Abu Ubaid was seriously ill. So, he hastened his pace, and when the twilight disappeared, he dismounted and offered the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers together. Then he said, "I saw that whenever the Prophet had to hasten when traveling, he would delay the Maghrib prayer and join them together (ie offer the Maghrib and the 'Isha prayers together).
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ بِطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ، فَبَلَغَهُ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ شِدَّةُ وَجَعٍ فَأَسْرَعَ السَّيْرَ، حَتَّى كَانَ بَعْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّفَقِ نَزَلَ، فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعَتَمَةَ، جَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ إِذَا جَدَّ بِهِ السَّيْرُ أَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ، وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Be mindful of your religious obligations even during travels
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident where Ibn 'Umar was travelling to Mecca and received news that Safiya bint Abu Ubaid was seriously ill. He then hastened his pace, and when the twilight disappeared, he dismounted and offered the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers together. This is because whenever the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ had to hasten while travelling, he would delay the Maghrib prayer and join them together. This teaches us that we should be mindful of our time management even during our travels, as we should not neglect our religious obligations such as offering prayers on time. We can also learn from this that if we are in a hurry or have limited time for something important, it is permissible to combine two prayers into one in order to save time.
