A verbatim excerpt of the text, forty words at most; the full text is in the edition cited under sources
Summary
The first report in the chapter on the traveller's prayer when he leads or is behind an imam. Yahya transmits from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn Abdullah from his father: when Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him) came to Mecca he led its people in two rak'as and then said, "People of Mecca, complete your prayer, for we are a travelling people". The editor notes that Abu Mus'ab, Rawh ibn Ubada, Ibn Wahb in al-Tahawi, Suwayd and Muhammad ibn al-Hasan transmitted it. 1
