question #1 Sahih Muslim 693a, Book 6, Hadith 17 : How does the practice of shortening prayers during travel reflect the teachings of Islam?

We went out from Medina to Mecca with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he prayed two rak’ahs at each time of prayer till we returned to Medina. I said: For how long did he stay in Mecca? He said: (For) ten (days).
