Musafir ki Namaz | The Traveller's Salah Hanafi
وَ اِذَا ضَرَ بۡتُمۡ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ فَلَیۡسَ عَلَیۡکُمۡ جُنَاحٌ اَنۡ تَقۡصُرُوۡ ا مِنَ الصَّلٰوۃِ ٭ۖ اِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ اَنۡ یَّفۡتِنَکُمُ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا ؕ اِنَّ الۡکٰفِرِ یۡنَ کَانُوۡا لَکُمۡ عَدُوًّا مُّبِیۡنًا ﴿۱۰۱﴾

The Revered and Renowned Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘This is a Ṣadaqaĥ for you from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, so accept His Ṣadaqaĥ.’ (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, pp. 347, Ḥadīš 686; Khazāin-ul-‘Irfān)
