Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ آلِ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَسِيدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ إِنَّا نَجِدُ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَصَلَاةَ الْحَضَرِ وَلَا نَجِدُ صَلَاةَ السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا نَفْعَلُ كَمَا رَأَيْنَا مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُ.
English Translation
Abd al-Rahman narrated to us: Malik narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from a man of the family of Khalid ibn Asid, who said: I said to Ibn Umar: "We find the prayer of fear in the Qur'an, and the prayer of residence, but we do not find the prayer of travel." He said: "God, Exalted is He, sent Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, when we knew nothing; we simply do as we saw Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, do."
