Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: فُرِضَتِ الصَّلَاةُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفُرِضَتْ أَرْبَعًا وَتُرِكَتْ صَلَاةُ السَّفَرِ عَلَى الْفَرِيضَةِ الْأُولَى. قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: قُلْتُ لِعُرْوَةَ: مَا بَال عَائِشَة تتمّ؟ قَالَ: تأولت كَمَا تَأَول عُثْمَان

Aisha reported: The prayer was first prescribed as two units. Then the Messenger of God emigrated, and it was prescribed as four. The prayer while travelling remained according to the original obligation. Al-Zuhri said: I asked Urwa why Aisha prayed the full number. He replied: She interpreted it as Uthman did. Al-Bukhari and Muslim transmitted it.
