Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةِ لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهَا ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Abdah narrated to us: Hammad ibn Zayd informed us, from Bishr ibn Harb, from Ibn Umar, who said: When the Messenger of Allah left this city, he never prayed more than two rakahs until he returned to it.
