Changes in Prayer Rak'at

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) changed the number of rak'at from two to four in regular prayers, but the journey prayer remained unchanged.

Narrated 'Aisha: Originally, two rak'at were prescribed in every prayer. When the Prophet migrated (to Medina) four rak'at were enjoined, while the journey prayer remained unchanged(ie two rak'at).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ فُرِضَتِ الصَّلاَةُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ هَاجَرَ النَّبِيُّ فَفُرِضَتْ أَرْبَعًا، وَتُرِكَتْ صَلاَةُ السَّفَرِ عَلَى الأُولَى‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ‏.‏
