Mindful of physical limitations; Permissible to shorten prayers while traveling; Ease over hardship in matters related to worship .

This hadith speaks of the Prophet Muhammad's practice of shortening his prayers while travelling a certain distance. It is reported that when he travelled three miles or three farsakhs, he would observe two rak'ahs instead of four. This shows us that it is permissible to shorten our prayers while travelling in order to make it easier for us and not burden us with too much worship at once. It also teaches us that we should be mindful of our physical limitations and not push ourselves too hard in matters related to worship as Allah does not want hardship for His servants but ease and mercy instead.
