Ibn Umar’s practice of night prayer while traveling

ibnkhuzaymah:1193Muḥammad b. Yaḥyá > Abū al-Yamān > Shuʿayb > al-Zuhrī > Sālim b. ʿAbdullāh

[AI] Abdullah ibn Umar would not offer any voluntary prayer while traveling, not even a prostration, before the prescribed prayer or after it, until he rose in the middle of the night; and he would not leave rising in the middle of the night.

ابن خزيمة:١١٩٣وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قال حدثنا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ لَا يُسَبِّحُ فِي السَّفَرِ سَجْدَةً قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ وَلَا بَعْدَهَا، حَتَّى يَقُومَ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ، وَكَانَ لَا يَتْرُكُ الْقِيَامَ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ.
