Follow the example set by Prophet Muhammad PBUH and his companions by shortening your salah when you are travelling .

This hadith is about the practice of shortening prayers while travelling. The Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr, and Umar all practiced this by shortening their prayers to two rak'ahs instead of four when they were travelling. Uthman continued this practice for a period of six or eight years. Ibn 'Umar also followed this practice but wished he had said two rak'ahs of Sunnah prayer after shortening the Fard prayer as well. This shows us that it is permissible to shorten our prayers while travelling in order to make them easier on ourselves, however we should still strive to perform extra voluntary acts such as sunnah prayers if possible in order to gain more reward from Allah SWT.
