Sahih al-Bukhari
Shortening the Prayers (At-Taqseer)
Chapter: When a traveller leaves his original place, he can shorten his Salat (prayer)
Narrated `Aisha:
"When the prayers were first enjoined they were of two rak`at each. Later the prayer in a journey was kept as it was but the prayers for non-travelers were completed." Az-Zuhri said, "I asked `Urwa what made Aisha pray the full prayers (in journey)." He replied, "She did the same as `Uthman did."
