I told 'Umar b. al-Khattab that Allah had said:" You may shorten the prayer only if you fear that those who are unbelievers may afflict you" (Qur'an, iv. 101), whereas the people are now safe. He replied: I wondered about it in the same way as you wonder about it, so I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it and he said: It is an act of charity which Allah has done to you, so accept His charity.  

أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} فَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ  

"I said to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: 'There is no sin on you if you shorten salah and if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you). But now the people are safe.' 'Umar said: 'I wondered the same thing, so I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that and he said: This is a favor from Allah (SWT) to you, so accept His favor."  

أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا } فَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ  

"I said to 'Umar [bin Al-Khattab]: 'Allah said: That you shorten the Salat if you fear and the people are safe (4:101).' So 'Umar said: 'I wondered about that just as you have wondered. So I mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: "It is charity which Allah has given to you, so accept His charity."  

أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ) وَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ  

“I asked ‘Umar bin Khattab: ‘Allah says: “And when you travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten the prayer if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you), verily, the disbelievers are ever to you open enemies,” [4:101] but now there is security and people are safe.’ He said: ‘I found it strange just as you do, so I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that, and he said: “It is charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity.”  

أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ  

I said to 'Umar bin al Khattab ؓ , ʿAnd when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten As­Salah (the prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you)ʿ (al Nisa' 4:101]. But now the people are safe. He said: I wondered the same thing as you are wondering, and I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He said: “It is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity.ʿ  

أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} [النساء 101] وَقَدْ آمَنَ اللهُ النَّاسَ ؟! فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ  

I said to ʿUmar bin al-Khattab. People are shortening the prayer today, and Allah says: “If you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you)ʿ [an-Nisaʿ 4:101). But that time [i.e., time of fear] has gone, He said: I wondered the same thing as you are wondering, and I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He said: ʿIt is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity.” ʿAbdur-Razzaq told us, Ibn Juraij told us I heard ʿAbdur-Rahman bin ‘Abdullah bin Abi ‘Ammar narrate... and he mentioned [the same report].  

أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} [النساء 101] فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ ذَاكَ الْيَوْمَ! فَقَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ  

[Machine] "To shorten the prayer if you fear" [4:101]. This means that people have already accepted it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I am amazed at what you are amazed at. Allah has granted you a charity, so accept it."  

أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ} [النساء 101] فَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ قَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوهَا»  

I said to 'Umar bin al Khattab ؓ , ʿAnd when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten As­Salah (the prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you)ʿ (al Nisa' 4:101]. But now the people are safe. He said: I wondered the same thing as you are wondering, and I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He said: “It is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon you, so accept His charity.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 174)   

أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ فَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ﷺ «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَةَ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] I said to Umar, "The shortcoming of people is their prayers, and indeed Allah, the Most High, has said, 'If you fear that those who disbelieve may tempt you.'" So that is gone. Umar said, "I was amazed by it until I asked the Messenger of Allah, may peace be upon him, and he said, 'It is a charity through which Allah gives you His help, so accept His charity.'"  

قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ إِقْصَارُ النَّاسِ الصَّلَاةَ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ ذَاكَ فَقَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ»

أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} [النساء 101] وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ ذَلِكَ الْآنَ قَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ»  

[Machine] I said to Umar ibn al-Khattab, "The saying of Allah (Exalted is He): 'There is no sin upon you if you shorten the prayer when you fear that those who disbelieve may harm you' (Quran 4:101) and people have been granted security." He said, "I am amazed at what you are amazed at," so I asked the Prophet ﷺ about it. He said, "It is a charity that Allah bestows upon you, so accept His charity." This is the wording of the hadith of Ibn Idris. In the hadith of Abu Asim, he said, "I said to Umar ibn al-Khattab, 'Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says: "There is no sin upon you if you shorten the prayer when you fear that those who disbelieve may harm you" (Quran 4:101).' At the end of it, he said, 'It is a charity that Allah bestows upon you, so accept it.'"  

قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ ؓ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} وَقَدْ أَمِنَ النَّاسُ قَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} [النساء 101] وَفِي آخِرِهِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوهَا
