Narrated `Abdullah bin Amir that his father had told him that he had seen the Prophet (p.b.u.h)
praying Nawafil at night on the back of his Mount on a journey, facing whatever direction it took.

Ibn `Umar said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray the Nawafil on the back of his Mount (carriage) by
signs facing any direction.” Ibn `Umar used to do the same.

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Maghrib and `Isha’ prayers together whenever he was in a hurry on a journey.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to offer the Zuhr and `Asr prayers together on journeys, and also used to offer the Maghrib and `Isha’ prayers together. Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Maghrib and the `Isha’ prayers together on journeys.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to offer these two prayers together on journeys i.e. the Maghrib and the `Isha’.

Salim told me, “`Abdullah bin `Umar said, ‘I saw Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) delaying the Maghrib prayer till he
offered it along with the `Isha prayer whenever he was in a hurry during the journey.’ ” Salim said,
“Abdullah bin `Umar used to do the same whenever he was in a hurry during the journey. After
making the call for Iqama, for the Maghrib prayer he used to offer three rak`at and then perform
Taslim. After waiting for a short while, he would pronounce the Iqama for the `Isha’ prayer and offer
two rak`at and perform Taslim. He never prayed any Nawafil in between the two prayers or after the
`Isha’ prayers till he got up in the middle of the night (for Tahajjud prayer).”

Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) started a journey before noon, he used to delay the Zuhr prayer till the time of
`Asr and then offer them together; and if the sun declined (at noon) he used to offer the Zuhr prayer
and then ride (for the journey).

Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) started the journey before noon, he used to delay the Zuhr prayer till the time
for the `Asr prayer and then he would dismount and pray them together; and whenever the sun
declined before he started the journey he used to offer the Zuhr prayer and then ride (for the journey).

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).

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) prayed in his house while sitting during his illness and the people prayed behind him
standing and he pointed to them to sit down. When he had finished the prayer, he said, “The Imam is
to be followed and so when he bows you should bow; and when he lifts his head you should also do
the same.”
