abudawud:1229[Chain 1] Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > Ḥammād [Chain 2] Ibrāhīm b. Mūsá > Ibn ʿUlayyah And Hadhā Lafẓuh > ʿAlī b. Zayd > Abū Naḍrah > ʿImrān b. Ḥuṣayn

I went on an expedition with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I was present with him at the conquest. He stayed eighteen days in Mecca and prayed only two rak'ahs (at each time of prayer). And he said: You who live in the town must pray four; we are travellers.  

أبو داود:١٢٢٩حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَشَهِدْتُ مَعَهُ الْفَتْحَ فَأَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً لاَ يُصَلِّي إِلاَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْبَلَدِ صَلُّوا أَرْبَعًا فَإِنَّا قَوْمٌ سَفْرٌ  

abudawud:1230Muḥammad b. al-ʿAlāʾ And ʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah al-Maʿná Wāḥid > Ḥafṣ > ʿĀṣim > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a stop of seventeen days in Mecca and he shortened the prayer (i.e. prayed two rak'ahs at each time of prayer). Ibn Abbas said: He who stays seventeen days should shorten the prayer; and who stays more than that should offer complete prayer. Abu Dawud said: The other version transmitted by Ibn 'Abbas through a different chain adds: He (the Prophet) had a stop of nineteen days (in Mecca).  

أبو داود:١٢٣٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقَامَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ بِمَكَّةَ يَقْصُرُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَمَنْ أَقَامَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ قَصَرَ وَمَنْ أَقَامَ أَكْثَرَ أَتَمَّ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ عَبَّادُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَقَامَ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ
abudawud:1231al-Nufaylī > Muḥammad b. Salamah > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > al-Zuhrī > ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed fifteen days in Mecca in the year of Conquest. Shortening the prayer. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by 'Abdah b. Sulaiman, Ahmad b. Khalid al-Wahbi, and Salamah b. Fadli on the authority of Ibn Ishaq ; but they did not mention the name of Ibn 'Abbas.  

أبو داود:١٢٣١حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

أَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ يَقْصُرُ الصَّلاَةَ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْوَهْبِيُّ وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ
abudawud:1232Naṣr b. ʿAlī from my father > Sharīk > Ibn al-Aṣbahānī > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Mecca seventeen days and prayed two rak'ahs (at each time of prayer).  

أبو داود:١٢٣٢حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ الأَصْبَهَانِيِّ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

abudawud:1233Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl And Muslim b. Ibrāhīm al-Maʿná > Wuhayb > Yaḥyá b. Abū Isḥāq > Anas b. Mālik

We went out from Medina to Mecca with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he prayed two rak'ahs (at each time of prayer) till we returned to Medina. We (the people) said: Did you stay there for some time ? He replied: We stayed there ten days.  

أبو داود:١٢٣٣حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَعْنَى قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى رَجَعْنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقُلْنَا هَلْ أَقَمْتُمْ بِهَا شَيْئًا قَالَ أَقَمْنَا بِهَا عَشْرًا  

abudawud:1234ʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah And Ibn al-Muthanná And Hadhā Lafẓ Ibn al-Muthanná > Abū Usāmah > Ibn al-Muthanná > ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. ʿUmar b. ʿAlī b. Abū Ṭālib from his father from his grandfather > ʿAlī

Muhammad reported from his father, Umar, on the authority of his grandfather, Ali ibn AbuTalib: When Ali travelled, he continued to travel till it became nearly dark. He then alighted and offered the sunset prayer. Then he would call for his dinner and eat it. Then he prayed the night prayer and then moved off. He would say: This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do. Usamah ibn Zayd reported from Hafs ibn Ubaydullah, the son of Anas ibn Malik: Anas would combine them (the evening and night prayer) when the twilight disappeared. He said: The Prophet ﷺ used to do so. Az-Zuhri also reported similarly on the authority of Anas from the Prophet ﷺ.  

أبو داود:١٢٣٤حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَهَذَا لَفْظُ ابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ
