Sunan an-Nasa'i 456
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ فُرِضَتِ الصَّلاَةُ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْحَضَرِ أَرْبَعًا وَفِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَفِي الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَةً .
‘Amr ibn ‘Ali informed us; he said: Yahya and ‘Abd al-Rahman narrated to us, saying: Abu ‘Awanah narrated to us, from Bukayr ibn al-Akhnas, from Mujahid, from Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: Prayer was prescribed through the Prophet’s ﷺ words as four rak‘ahs at home, two while traveling, and one in a state of fear.
Translation notes
The Arabic phrase literally says prayer was prescribed “upon the tongue of the Prophet”; it is rendered idiomatically as prescribed through his words.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،
The English witness omits the isnad.
