Sunan Ibn Majah 614 (Book 1, Hadith 348) #29966
Voluntary Prayer While Traveling

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) praying eight Rak'ah of voluntary prayer while traveling and taking a bath.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Harith bin Nawfal said: "I asked whether the Messenger of Allah prayed voluntary prayer when traveling, but I could not find anyone to tell me until Umm Hani' bint Abu Talib told me that he had come during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah). He ordered that a screen be held up, and that was done, and he took a bath; then he prayed eight Rak'ah (units) of voluntary prayer".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ سَبَّحَ فِي سَفَرٍ حَتَّى أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَمَرَ بِسِتْرٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of prayer, even when one is traveling. It was narrated by 'Abdullah bin Harith bin Nawfal that he asked whether the Messenger of Allah prayed voluntary prayer when traveling, but he could not find anyone to tell him until Umm Hani' bint Abu Talib told him that he had come during the year of the Conquest of Makkah. He ordered that a screen be held up, and then took a bath before praying eight Rak'ah of voluntary prayer. This shows us how important it is for Muslims to pray even when they are on a journey or in transit. It also teaches us that we should take care to maintain our cleanliness before we pray as well as respect others’ privacy by using screens or other barriers if necessary.
