Q
What is the significance of following the example of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in performing prayers during travel?
A
I was going to Mecca in the company of `Abdullah bin `Umar and when I apprehended the
approaching dawn, I dismounted and offered the witr prayer and then joined him. `Abdullah bin
`Umar said, “Where have you been?” I replied, “I apprehended the approaching dawn so I dismounted
and prayed the witr prayer.” `Abdullah said, “Isn’t it sufficient for you to follow the good example of
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” I replied, “Yes, by Allah.” He said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray witr on the back of
the camel (while on a journey).”
