"I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ delaying the Maghrib prayer till he offered it along with the ʿIsha' prayer whenever he was in a hurry during the journey." Salim narrated, "Ibn ʿUmar used to do the same whenever he was in a hurry during the journey." And Salim added, "Ibn ʿUmar used to pray the Maghrib and ʿIsha' prayers together in Al-Muzdalifa." Salim said, "Ibn ʿUmar delayed the Maghrib prayer because at that time he heard the news of the death of his wife Safiya bint Abi ʿUbaid. I said to him, 'The prayer (is due).' He said, 'Go on.' Again I said, 'The prayer (is due).' He said, 'Go on,' till we covered two or three miles. Then he got down, prayed and said, 'I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying in this way, whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.' ʿAbdullah (bin ʿUmar) added, "Whenever the Prophet was in a hurry, he used to delay the Maghrib prayer and then offer three rakʿat (of the Maghrib) and perform Taslim, and after waiting for a short while, Iqama used to be pronounced for the ʿIsha' prayer when he would offer two rakʿat and perform Taslim. He would never offer any optional prayer till the middle of the night (when he used to pray the Tahajjud)."

Whenever the Prophet ﷺ started on a journey before noon, he used to delay the Zuhr prayers till the time for the 'Asr prayer and then he would dismount and offer them together; and whenever the sun declined before he started on a journey he used to offer the Zuhr prayers and then ride (for journey).

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا ارْتَحَلَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَزِيغَ الشَّمْسُ أَخَّرَ الظُّهْرَ إِلَى وَقْتِ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَجَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ
