Shortening Prayers During Travel

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) shortened his prayers while travelling from Madinah to Makkah and stayed there for 10 days.

It was narrated that Anas said: "I went out with the Messenger of Allah from Al-Madinah to Mekkah, and he continued to shorten his prayers, and he stayed there for ten days".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقْصُرُ حَتَّى رَجَعَ فَأَقَامَ بِهَا عَشْرًا

QUICK LESSONS:
Shorten your prayer while travelling .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Anas ibn Malik speaks of the Prophet Muhammad's journey from Madinah to Makkah. During this journey, he shortened his prayers, which is a practice known as Qasr in Islamic jurisprudence. This means that instead of praying four rak'ahs, the Prophet prayed two rak'ahs during his travels. He also stayed in Makkah for ten days before returning back to Madinah. This hadith teaches us that it is permissible to shorten our prayers when we are travelling and that it is important to take time out for spiritual reflection and worship even when we are on the go.
