Sunan Abi Dawud 1233 (Book 4, Hadith 36) #21525
Praying During a Journey

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed two rak'ahs at each time of prayer during his journey from Medina to Mecca and back.

Narrated Anas b. Malik : We went out from Medina to Mecca with the Messenger of Allah and he prayed two rak'ahs (at each time of prayer) till we returned to Medina. We (the people) said: Did you stay there for some time ? He replied: We stayed there ten days.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقُلْنَا هَلْ أَقَمْتُمْ بِهَا شَيْئًا قَالَ أَقَمْنَا بِهَا عَشْرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Anas b. Malik tells us that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed two rak'ahs at each time of prayer during his journey from Medina to Mecca and back. This shows us the importance of praying regularly even when we are travelling or on a journey. It is important for Muslims to remember that they should not neglect their prayers even when they are away from home or on a trip as it is one of the five pillars of Islam and an obligation upon all believers. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about perseverance and dedication as the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was able to maintain his regular prayers despite being away from home for ten days.
