Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلاَءُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَبَرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ لاَ يَزِيدُ فِي السَّفَرِ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لاَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَهَا وَلاَ بَعْدَهَا ‏.‏ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا هَذَا قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْنَعُ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Yahya informed me; he said: Abu Nu‘aym narrated to us; he said: al-‘Ala’ ibn Zuhayr narrated to us; he said: Wabarah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman narrated to us: Ibn ‘Umar would not pray more than two rak‘ahs while traveling. He would not pray before them or after them. He was asked, “What is this?” He said: “This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do it.”
