قوله

(۱) قوله: حتى قبضه الله : فيستفاد منه المواظبة على القصر ووجوبه. كذا في «جامع الآثار».

Note 1

ف: واضح ہو کہ صدر کی دونوں حدیثوں سے معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم اور خلفائے راشدین رضی اللہ عنہم چار رکعت والی فرض نمازوں کو ہمیشہ قصر ہی کرتے تھے۔ اور پورے چار رکعت نہیں پڑھتے تھے، اس کی وجہ یہی تھی کہ سفر میں یہ حضرات پورے چار رکعت پڑھنے کو جائز نہیں سمجھتے تھے، اگر پورے چار رکعت کا پڑھنا عزیمت ہوتا اور قصر کرنا رخصت ہوتا تو یہ حضرات کرام قصر پر مداومت نہیں فرماتے، اس سے ثابت ہوتا ہے کہ سفر میں قصر کرنا واجب ہے اور اگر کوئی قصر نہ کرے تو گنہگار ہوگا (جامع الآثار، اعلاء السنن۔)

Hadith 1777

Volume 1

English

Ali ibn Rabi’ah al-Walibi reported: "I asked Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): ‘For how long do we shorten prayers?’ He replied: ‘Do you know al-Suwayda?’ I said: ‘No, but I have heard of it.’ He said: ‘It is three nights’ journey. When we travel to it, we shorten our prayers.’"

Note 1

Our scholars determined the distance to be three days based on the Hadith in the Sahihayn: ‘A woman should not travel for three days except with a mahram.’ Another Hadith states: ‘A resident may wipe over his socks for a day and a night, and a traveler for three days and nights.’ This is also supported by this Hadith. This is mentioned in Al-Ta’liq al-Mumjad. In Al-Mirqat, Ibn al-Humam said: ‘This indicates shortening prayers for a distance less than three days, based on the Hadith of Ibn Abbas: “O people of Makkah, do not shorten prayers for less than four barid (approximately 48 miles) from Makkah to ‘Asfan.

قوله

(۱) قوله: هي ثلاث ليال: ذهب أصحابنا إلى التقدير بثلاثة أيام؛ أخذا من حديث الصحيحين: لا تسافر المرأة ثلاثة أيام إلا مع ذي رحم محرم، ومن حديث: يمسح المقيم يوما وليلة والمسافر ثلاثة أيام ولياليها، ومن هذا الحديث. كذا في التعليق الممجد». وقال في «المرقاة»: قال ابن الهمام: ويدل على القصر لمسافة أقل من ثلاثة أيام حديث ابن عباس عنه ﷺ قال: يا أهل مكة لا تقصروا في أدنى أربعة برد من مكة إلى عسفان ؛ فإنه يفيد القصر في أربعة برد، وهي تقطع في أقل من ثلاثة أيام. وأجيب: يُضعف الحديث بضعف رواية عبد الوهاب بن مجاهد، فبقي قصر الأقل بلا دليل.

اندازہ بتلایا گیا ہے۔ ایسا ہی اور موقعوں پر بھی مسافر کے لئے تین کے عدد کا لحاظ کیا گیا ہے۔ مثلاً عورت تین منزل کا سفر کرنا چاہے تو اس کو محرم ساتھ رکھنا ضروری ہے۔ ایسا ہی مسافر کو تین دن رات تک موزوں پر مسح کرنے کا حکم ہے۔ اس سے معلوم ہوا کہ مسافر کے لئے اور موقعوں پر بھی تین دن کا لحاظ رکھا گیا ہے۔ اس لئے سفر میں قصر کے لئے بھی تین منزل کا اعتبار کیا گیا) (تعلیق ممجد میں ایسا ہی مذکور ہے۔12) (اس حدیث کی روایت امام محمد رحمہ اللہ علیہ نے کتاب الآثار میں کی ہے اور آثار السنن میں لکھا ہے کہ اس حدیث کی سند صحیح ہے۔)
