[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed two units of prayer during travel, just as he prescribed four units during being present.
«افْتَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي السَّفَرِ كَمَا افْتَرَضَ أَرْبَعًا فِي الْحَضَرِ»

Allah has prescribed the prayer through the word of your Prophet ﷺ as four rak'ahs when resident, two when travelling, and one when danger is present.
فَرَضَ اللَّهُ الصَّلاَةَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ فِي الْحَضَرِ أَرْبَعًا وَفِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَفِي الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَةً
"Allah (SWT) enjoined the prayer on the tongue of your Prophet ﷺ: four (rak'ahs) while a resident, two rak'ahs while traveling, and one rak'ah during times of fear."
فَرَضَ اللَّهُ الصَّلاَةَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ فِي الْحَضَرِ أَرْبَعًا وَفِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَفِي الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَةً
“Allah enjoined the prayer upon the tongue of your Prophet ﷺ: Four Rak’ah while a resident and two Rak’ah when traveling.”
