Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 2, Hadith 90
the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten AsSalah (the prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may put you in
trial (attack you)` (al Nisa’ 4:101]. But now the people are safe. He said: I wondered the same thing as you are
wondering, and I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that. He said: “It is a charity that Allah has bestowed upon
you, so accept His charity.`
Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 2, Hadith 90
The above hadith is from the Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal collection of hadiths. Compiled by the renowned Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Hanbal, the Musnad is a monumental hadith collection distinguished by its unique organizational structure. Unlike other major collections arranged by topic, the Musnad is organized according to the names of the Prophet Muhammad’s companions. This means each section is dedicated to a specific companion, grouping all the narrations they transmitted together. This method offers valuable insights into the Prophet’s teachings as passed down through his closest followers. While the collection is highly respected for its overall authenticity and vast scope, scholars note that it includes narrations of varying strength, and some feature weaker chains of transmission that require expert analysis.
