Sunan Abi Dawud 1921 (Book 11, Hadith 201) #22213
Prayer While Travelling

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) taught his companions how to perform prayer while travelling, and the importance of performing it in a timely manner.

Ibrahim bin ’Uqabah said "Kuraib told me that he asked Umamah bin Zaid saying tell me how you did in the evening when you rode behind the Apostle of Allaahﷺ. He said "We came to the valley where the people make their Camels kneel down to take rest at night". The Apostle of Allaahﷺ made his she Camel kneel down and he then urinated. He then called for water for ablution and performed the ablution but he did not perform minutely (but performed lightly). I asked Apostle of Allaahﷺ, prayer? He replied "Prayer ahead of you". He then mounted (the Camel) till we came to Al Muzdalifah. There iqamah for the sunset prayer was called. The people then made their Camels kneel down at their places. The Camels were not unloaded as yet, iqamah for the night prayers was called and he prayed. The people then unloaded the Camels. The narrator Muhammad added in his version of the tradition How did you do when the morning came? He replied Al Fadl rode behind him and I walked on foot among the people of the Quraish who went ahead.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، - وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ زُهَيْرٍ - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي كُرَيْبٌ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ قُلْتُ أَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ، فَعَلْتُمْ - أَوْ صَنَعْتُمْ - عَشِيَّةَ رَدِفْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ جِئْنَا الشِّعْبَ الَّذِي يُنِيخُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ لِلْمُعَرَّسِ فَأَنَاخَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَاقَتَهُ ثُمَّ بَالَ - وَمَا قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ أَهْرَاقَ الْمَاءَ - ثُمَّ دَعَا بِالْوَضُوءِ فَتَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءًا لَيْسَ بِالْبَالِغِ جِدًّا قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الصَّلاَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الصَّلاَةُ أَمَامَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَرَكِبَ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا الْمُزْدَلِفَةَ فَأَقَامَ الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ أَنَاخَ النَّاسُ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَحِلُّوا حَتَّى أَقَامَ الْعِشَاءَ وَصَلَّى ثُمَّ حَلَّ النَّاسُ ‏.‏ زَادَ مُحَمَّدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ فَعَلْتُمْ حِينَ أَصْبَحْتُمْ قَالَ رَدِفَهُ الْفَضْلُ وَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا فِي سُبَّاقِ قُرَيْشٍ عَلَى رِجْلَىَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of prayer while travelling. It is narrated by Ibrahim bin ’Uqabah and Kuraib that they asked Umamah bin Zaid about what happened when he rode behind the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). He said that they came to a valley where people made their camels kneel down for rest at night. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) made his she camel kneel down, called for water for ablution, performed ablution lightly, then mounted the camel until they reached Al Muzdalifah. There was an iqamah for sunset prayer which was prayed without unloading the camels first. In the morning, Al Fadl rode behind him while Umamah walked among people of Quraish who went ahead. This hadith teaches us that we should always be mindful of our prayers even when we are travelling and not let anything distract us from it or delay its performance in time as prescribed by Allah SWT. We should also be mindful of our actions during travel as it is an opportunity to gain reward from Allah SWT if done with good intention and sincerity.
