Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الأَخْنَسِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ الصَّلاَةَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكُمْ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْحَضَرِ أَرْبَعًا وَفِي السَّفَرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَفِي الْخَوْفِ رَكْعَةً ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah narrated to us; he said: Abu ‘Awanah narrated to us, from Bukayr ibn al-Akhnas, from Mujahid, from Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: Allah prescribed prayer through the words of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): four rak‘ahs when resident, two rak‘ahs when traveling, and one rak‘ah in a state of fear.
