Shortening the Prayers (At-Taqseer)
Chapter: Whenever a person travels after midday, he should offer the Zuhr prayers and the ride for the journey
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) started on a journey before noon, he used to delay the Zuhr prayers till the time for the 'Asr prayer and then he would dismount and offer them together; and whenever the sun declined before he started on a journey he used to offer the Zuhr prayers and then ride (for journey).
