Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 6, Hadith 104
Kathir bin Qarawanda said: “We asked Salim bin ‘Abdullah about prayer while traveling. We said: ‘Did ‘Abdullah combine any of his prayer while traveling?’ He said: ‘No, except at Jam’.’ Then he paused, and said: ‘Safiyyah was married to him, and she sent word to him that she was in her last day in this world and the first day in the Hereafter. So he ride off in a hurry, and I was with him. The time for prayer came and the Mu’adhdhin said to him: ‘The prayer, O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman! But he kept going until it was between the time for the two prayer. Then he stopped and said to the Mu’adhdhin: “Say the Iqamah, and when I say the Taslim at the end of Zuhr, say the Iqamah (again) straight away.” So he said the Iqamah and he prayed Zuhr, two Rak’ahs, then he said the Iqamah (again) straight away, and he prayed ‘Asr, two Rak’ahs. Then he rode off quickly until the sun set and the Mu’adhdhin said to him: “The prayer, O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman!” He said: “Do what you did before.” He rode on until the starts appeared, then he stopped and said: “Say the Iqamah, then when I say the Taslim, say the Iqamah. So he said the Iqamah and he prayed Maghrib, three Rak’ahs, then he said the Iqamah (again) straight away and he prayed ‘Isha’, then he said one Taslim, turning his face. Then he said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If any one of you has urgent need that he fears he may miss, let him pray like this.'”

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 6, Hadith 104
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Sunan an-Nasa’i stands as one of the six canonical collections of hadith, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, which are foundational to Sunni Islamic jurisprudence and theology. This significant work was compiled by the esteemed 9th-century scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i. The collection is distinguished by its author’s meticulous and rigorous methodology, which involved a stringent process for verifying the authenticity of each narration. By deliberately excluding traditions he deemed weak or fabricated, al-Nasa’i created a compilation of over 5,700 hadiths that is highly respected for its reliability and its focused emphasis on the authentic sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad.
