"If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was setting out on a journey before the sun passed its zenith, he would delay Zuhr until the time of 'Asr, then he would stop and combine the prayer. If the sun passed its zenith before he set out, he would pray Zuhr and then set off.  

النسائي:٥٨٦أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُفَضَّلٌ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

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

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

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out on a journey before the sun declined (from the meridian), he delayed the noon prayer till the afternoon prayer, and then dismounted (his ride) and combined them (noon and afternoon prayers), but if the sun had declined before his setting out on a journey, he observed the noon prayer and then mounted (the ride).

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded before the sun had declined, he delayed the noon prayer till the time of the afternoon prayer, he would then alight and combine the two prayers. If the sun declined before he moved off, he would offer the noon prayer and rode (the beast) - may peace be upon him. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Mufaddal was the judge of Egypt. His supplication was accepted by Allah; he was the son of Fudalah.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to delay the Dhuhr prayer until the time of Asr (mid-afternoon) when he would be traveling. Then he would combine them (Dhuhr and Asr). If the sun set before he could start the Dhuhr prayer, he would pray it first and then continue his journey. And in a narration from Ibn Abdullah, it is stated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would combine the remaining prayers together.
