Hadith 31

(The book) ‘Majaalis’ of Ibn Al Sheykh – from his father, from Ahmad Bin Haroun Bin Al Salt, from Ibn Uqdah, from Al Qasim Bin Ja’far Bin Ahmad, from Abbad Bin Ahmad, from his uncle, from his father, from Jabir, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul A’ala, from Suweyd Bin Gafalah, ‘From Umar Bin Al Khattab, and from Abu Bakr, and from Ali-asws, and from Abdullah Bin Al-Abbas, all of them said, ‘When you travel, then you pass by a city intending to stay at it for ten (days), pray the complete Salat; and if you rather intended to stay at it less than ten (days), shorten; and if you arrived and you were saying, ‘I shall travel (depart) tomorrow or (day) after tomorrow’, until a month is completed, then pray the perfect (complete) Salat and do not shorten in less than three (days)’. And he said, ‘I asked them about a sailor in a ship, ‘Should he shorten the Salat, all of them? ’
He said, ‘Yes, when you were on a lengthy journey, and if you travel during Ramazan, then fast if you like’. And all of them said, ‘When you pray in the ship, then it obligates the Salat to the Qiblah. If it rotates, then stay affirmed wherever it had obligated’. And all of them prayed Al-Asr and travelled the mountain ranges (shortening Salat), for it was a Salat of Rasool-Allah-saww, and all of them performed Qunout in Al-Fajr (Salat), and Usman as well performed Qunout in Al-Fajr (Salat)’’.
