from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said during a journey: "Who will watch out for dawn for us, so that we do not sleep and miss the prayer?" Bilal said: 'I will.' He turned to face the direction where the sun would rise, but they fell fast asleep until the heat of the sun woke them up, then they got up. He said: 'Perform Wudu.'

that his father said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (saw) when some of the people said: 'Why do you not stop with us to rest a while, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'I am afraid that you will sleep and miss the prayer.' Bilal said: 'I will wake you up.' So they lay down and slept, and Bilal leaned back on his mount. Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) woke up when the sun had already started to rise, and he said: 'O Bilal, what about what you told us?' He said: 'I have never slept like that before.' The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, takes your souls when He wills and sends them back when He wills. Stand up O Bilal and call the people to prayer.' Then Bilal stood up and called the Adhan, and they performed Wudhu'" - that is, when the sun had risen (fully) - "then he stood and lead them in prayer." (Sahih)

"I asked Salim bin Abdullah about how his father prayed when traveling. We asked him: 'Did he combine any of his prayers when traveling?' He said that Safiyyah bint Abi Ubaid was married to him, and she wrote to him, when he was at some farmland of his, saying: 'This is the last of my days in this world, and the first day of the Hereafter."* He rode quickly to go to her, and when the time for Zuhr came, the Muadhdhin said to him: "The prayer, O Abdur-Rahman!" But he paid no attention to him until it was between the time for the two prayers, then he stopped and said: "Say the Iqamah and when I say the Taslim, say the Iqamah." Then he rode on again, and when the sun set the Muadhdhin said to him: "The prayer!" He said: "Do as you did for Zuhr and Asr." When the stars had appeared, he stopped and said to the Muadhdhin: "Say the Iqamah and when I say the Taslim, say the Iqamah." He prayed, then when he had finished he turned to us and said: 'The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'If any one of you has an urgent need that he fears he may miss, let him pray like this.'" (Sahih) *Meaning that she was dying.

"We asked Salim bin Abdullah about prayer while traveling. We said: 'Did Abdullah combine any of his prayers 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 rode 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 prayers. Then he stopped and said to the Muadhdhin: "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 Rakahs, then he said the Iqamah (again) straight away, and he prayed Asr, two Rakahs. 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 stars 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 Rakahs, 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 (saw) said: 'If any one of you has an urgent need that he fears he may miss, let him pray like this.'" (Sahih) *Meaning Al-Muzdalifah.
