Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26708

Qutayba bin Saeed narrated to us, Al-Layth bin Saad narrated to us, on the authority of Safwan bin Sulaym, on the authority of Abu Busra Al-Ghafari, on the authority of Al-Baraa bin Azib, He said: I accompanied the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, on eighteen journeys, and I never saw him neglect the two rak’ahs when the sun set before noon. And in Chapter on the authority of Ibn Umar. Abu Issa said the hadith of Al-Baraa is a strange hadith. He said, “I asked Muhammad about it, but he did not know it except from the hadith of Al-Layth.” Ibn Saad, and he did not know the name of Abu Busra al-Ghifari, but he thought he was good. It was narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, was not He does voluntary prayers when traveling before or after prayer. It was narrated from him on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, that he used to do voluntary prayers when traveling. Then the people of Knowledge after the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. Some of the companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, thought that the man should volunteer to travel, and with it Ahmad and Ishaq say: No group of people of knowledge thought that he should pray before or after it. And what is meant by one who does not volunteer while traveling Accepting the permission, and whoever volunteers will have a lot of merit in that. This is the opinion of most scholars who choose to travel voluntarily.
