Bismihi Ta’ala
Ahaadeeth and Sunnats of Traveling
Sunnah and Nafl salaah while traveling
48.) Sayyidina Abdullah Ibn
Umar (RA) narrates that he performed two rakaats of Zuhr Salaah whilst
traveling with Nabi (Sallallaahu
‘alayhi waSallam). He narrates that he
performed another two rakaats thereafter.
[Mishkaat]
- Note : Sayyidina Abdullah Ibn Umar (RA) performed the two
rakaats of Sunnah after the Zuhr Salaah.
- It is narrated that Sayyidina Abdullah Ibn Umar (RA) and Sayyidina Qatadah (RA) used to perform the Sunnah Salaah
before and after each Salaah, when traveling.
- It is encouraged to read the Sunnah and Nafl Salaah when
traveling, if time and conditions permit. By omitting them without reason, the
habit wanes and it becomes difficult for a person to form the habit again.
Permission to omit the Sunnah salaah whilst traveling
49.) Hazrat Abdullah Ibn
Umar (RA) narrates : ‘I accompanied Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi waSallam) on a journey, but did not see him performing the Sunnah
and Nafl Salaah whilst traveling.”
[Bukhari
Shareef]
-
Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Umar (RA) narrates that Nabi (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi waSallam) used to omit the Sunnah
Salaats that are performed before and after the Fardh Salaah.
- Nabi (Sallallaahu
‘alayhi waSallam) adopted
the above method as well. The Ulama explain that it depends on circumstances. If
a person is in a hurry, he could omit the Sunnah Salaah, and if not, he should
read it.
