Yahya bin Umayya said: I told Umar bin al-Khattab that Allah had said: "You may shorten the prayer only if you fear that those who are unbelievers may afflict you" (Quran, iv. 101), whereas the people are now safe. He replied: I wondered about it in the same way as you wonder about it, so I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it and he said: It is an act of charity which Allah has done to you, so accept His charity.00000
