Musnad Ahmed
Sahih (Darussalam) [ Muslim (686)]
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَابَيْهِ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قُلْتُ [[[{ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمْ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا }]]] وَقَدْ أَمَّنَ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ عَجِبْتُ مِمَّا عَجِبْتَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا صَدَقَتَهُ.
It was narrated that Ya'la bin Umayyah said:I said to 'Umar bin al Khattab رضي الله عنه ,
"And when you (Muslims) travel in

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."
