Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 705a
This hadith about combining prayers without travel is reported by Ibn Abbas. He says that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم prayed Dhuhr and Asr together, and Maghrib and Isha together, while not being in a state of fear or journey. The wording is brief and should be treated carefully. It tells us what happened and also mentions two things that were not present: fear and travel. It does not provide the reason in this version. For people searching for combining prayers without travel hadith, Dhuhr Asr together in Sahih Muslim, or Maghrib Isha together without fear, this report gives the core wording. Any extra legal explanation should be kept separate from the text.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم combined Dhuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha.
- The report says this occurred without fear and without travel.
- This version does not mention the reason, so the explanation should not add one from outside it.
