I accompanied Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما on the way (on a journey). He led us in two rak'ah's of (the noon) prayer. Then he proceeded and saw some people standing. He asked: What are they doing ? I replied: They are glorifying Allah (i.e. offering supererogatory prayer). He said: If I had offered the supererogatory prayer (while travelling), I would have completed prayer, my cousin. I accompanied the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم during the journey, he did not pray more than two raka'at until his death. I also accompanied Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ , and he prayed two raka'at and nothing more until he died. I also accompanied Umar رضی اللہ عنہ , and he prayed two raka'at and nothing more until he died. I also accompanied Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ , and he prayed two raka'at and nothing more until he died. Indeed Allah, the Exalted, said: Certainly you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent exemplar.
