And Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, al-Mufaddal—meaning ibn Fadalah—narrated to us, from 'Uqayl, from Ibn Shihab, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, set out on a journey before the sun declined from its zenith, he would delay the noon prayer until the time of the afternoon prayer, then dismount and combine the two. But if the sun had declined before he set out, he would pray the noon prayer, then mount.
