وَعَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ: صَحِبْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ فَصَلَّى لَنَا الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَحْلَهُ وَجَلَسَ فَرَأَى نَاسًا قِيَامًا فَقَالَ: مَا يَصْنَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قُلْتُ: يُسَبِّحُونَ. قَالَ: لَوْ كُنْتُ مُسَبِّحًا أَتْمَمْتُ صَلَاتِي. صَحِبْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَ لَا يَزِيدُ فِي السَّفَرِ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَبَا بكر وَعمر وَعُثْمَان كَذَلِك

Hafs ibn Asim said: I accompanied Ibn Umar on the road to Mecca. He led us in the noon prayer with two units, then went to his camp and sat down. He saw some people standing and asked: What are they doing? I said: They are praying voluntary prayers. He replied: If I were to pray voluntary prayers, I would have completed my prayer. I accompanied the Messenger of God, who never prayed more than two units while travelling; Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman did likewise. Al-Bukhari and Muslim transmitted it.
