The Importance of Praying Two Rakah

SUMMARY: The prayer when traveling, on Fridays, and during the festivals of Al-Fitr and Al-Adha should be two Rakah (units of prayer) in full, not shortened.

'Umar said: "The prayer when traveling is two Rak’ah, and Friday is two Rak’ah, and Al-Fitr and Al-Adha are two Rak’ah, complete, not shortened, as told by Muhammad ".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، قَالَ صَلاَةُ السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلاَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَالْفِطْرُ وَالأَضْحَى رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ غَيْرُ قَصْرٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ ـ

This hadith is about the importance of praying two rakahs for certain occasions. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab reported that Prophet Muhammad said that when traveling, on Fridays, and during the festivals of Al-Fitr and Al-Adha one should pray two rakahs in full without shortening them. This means that even if one is busy or tired they should still take time to pray two rakahs as it is an important part of their faith. It also teaches us to prioritize our religious duties over other activities even if we are busy or tired.
