Sunan Abi Dawud 1218 (Book 4, Hadith 21) #21510
Combining Prayers

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) combined the noon and afternoon prayers if he had not left before the sun declined, and his supplication was accepted by Allah.

Narrated Anas b. Malik : When the Messenger of Allah proceeded before the sun had declined, he delayed the noon prayer till the time of the afternoon prayer, he would then alight and combine the two prayers. If the sun declined before he moved off, he would offer the noon prayer and rode (the beast) - may peace be upon him. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Mufaddal was the judge of Egypt. His supplication was accepted by Allah; he was the son of Fudalah.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ، مَوْهَبٍ - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُفَضَّلُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا ارْتَحَلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَزِيغَ الشَّمْسُ أَخَّرَ الظُّهْرَ إِلَى وَقْتِ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَجَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ كَانَ مُفَضَّلٌ قَاضِيَ مِصْرَ وَكَانَ مُجَابَ الدَّعْوَةِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ فَضَالَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about combining two prayers, the noon prayer and the afternoon prayer. It is narrated by Anas b. Malik that when Prophet Muhammad was travelling before sunset, he would delay his noon prayer until it was time for the afternoon prayer and then combine them both into one prayer. If he did not leave before sunset, then he would offer only one of them as normal. Abu Dawud also mentioned that Mufaddal's supplication to Allah was accepted; Mufaddal being a judge in Egypt and son of Fudalah. This hadith teaches us to be mindful of our time in order to combine our prayers when we are travelling or busy with something else so that we can save time while still fulfilling our religious obligations as Muslims. We should also remember to make du’a or supplications to Allah because He will accept them if they are sincere from us; just like how He accepted Mufaddal’s du’a even though he wasn't a prophet himself but just an ordinary person like us who believed in Him sincerely with all his heart.
