"Why?" He said: "So that there would not be any hardship on his Ummah."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الصَّلاَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلاَ مَطَرٍ قِيلَ لَهُ لِمَ قَالَ لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ حَرَجٌ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined the noon and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers at Medina without any danger and rain. He was asked: What did he intend by it ? He replied: He intended that his community might not fall into hardship.

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلاَ مَطَرٍ فَقِيلَ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا أَرَادَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَرَادَ أَنْ لاَ يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined Ẓuhr and ʿAsr ˹prayers˺ and the Maghrib and Isha ˹prayers˺ in Madinah without being in a state of fear, nor due to rain. It was asked of Ibn ʿAbbās: What did he intend by that?. He said: He wanted that his Ummah does not experience any hardship.

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلاَ مَطَرٍ۔ قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: أَرَادَ أَنْ لاَ يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ۔

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ gathered between Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers without there being rain or travel. They asked, "O Abu Abbas, what was his intention for doing that?" He said, "To make it easier for his ummah."

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فِي غَيْرِ مَطَرٍ وَلَا سَفَرٍ قَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ مَا أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ التَّوَسُّعَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ gathered the people between Dhuhr and Asr prayers in Madinah, without being on a journey or fearing anything. I said, "O Abu Al-Abbas, why did he do that?" He said, "He wanted not to burden anyone from his ummah."

جَمَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَيْرِ سَفَرٍ وَلا خَوْفٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ وَلِمَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated both from Dawud bin Qays, who narrated from Salih, the freed slave of At-Taw'amah, that he heard Ibn Abbas saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined Dhuhr and Asr, and Maghrib and Isha in Al-Madinah without any fear or rain. I said to Ibn Abbas, "Why did he do that?" He said, "He wanted to make it easier for his ummah."

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى التَّوْأَمَةِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا مَطَرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لِمَ تُرَاهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ أَرَادَ التَّوْسِعَةَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ combined Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers in Madinah without any reason. Ibn Abbas was asked about the purpose of this, and he said, 'To make it easier for his Ummah.'"

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ» فَقِيلَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «التَّوَسُّعَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ»

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Dhuhr and Asr prayers together in the city of Madinah, without being on a journey or in fear." I asked Ibn Abbas, "Why did he do that?" He said, "He wanted to not inconvenience anyone from his nation."

«جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَيْرِ سَفَرٍ وَلَا خَوْفٍ» قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لِمَ تَرَاهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ combined the prayers of Dhuhr and Asr, and combined the prayers of Maghrib and Isha in Madinah, while he was stationary without fear or anything forcing him to do so. They asked, "Why did he do that, O Abu Abbas?" He replied, "He intended not to burden his Ummah."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ مُقِيمٌ عَلَى غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا شَيْءٍ اضْطَرَّهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ» فَقَالُوا فَلِمَ يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ؟ قَالَ «أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ»

"Why?" He said: "So that there would not be any hardship on his Ummah." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 602)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا مَطَرٍ قِيلَ لَهُ لِمَ؟ قَالَ «لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ حَرَجٌ»

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ combined the Dhuhr and Asr prayers in Madinah without fear or travel.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا سَفَرٍ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined the noon and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers at Medina without any danger and rain. He was asked: What did he intend by it ? He replied: He intended that his community might not fall into hardship. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1211)

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا سَفَرٍ قُلْتُ لِمَ تَرَى يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ؟ قَالَ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ

صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم بِالْمَدِينَةِ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ ولاَ مَطَرٍ قُلْتُ لابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لأَيِّ شَيْءٍ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لِكَيْ لا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ

صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ وهُو مُقِيمٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ لِكَيْ لا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ

"عَنْ صَالِحٍ مَوْلَى التوأَمَة أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ: جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ، وَالْمَغْرِبِ والعِشَاءِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ في غَيْرِ سَفَرٍ وَلا خَوْفٍ، قَالَ: قُلتُ لابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: لِمَ تَرَاهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ ، قَالَ: أَرَادَ التَّوْسِعَةَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ".

"عَنْ سَعيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: جَمَعَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْر بِالْمَدينَةِ في غَيْرِ سَفَرٍ وَلا خَوْفٍ، قَالَ: قُلتُ لابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: وَلِمَ تَرَاهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: أَرَادَ أَنْ لا يُحْرجُ أَحَدًا مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ".
