It was narrated
from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) that he said: “A slave does
not leave behind anything for his family better than two rak’ah prayer he
performs in their presence when he intends to travel.” Classified weak by
al-Albaanee in ad-Da’eefah (no. 372)
Benefit: Shaykh al-Albaanee (may Allaah have mercy on him) wrote:
An-Nawawee (may
Allaah have mercy on him) used the above hadeeth as a proof that it is
recommended for a traveller to perform two rak’ah before leaving; but this
calls for careful study because saying something is recommended is a legal
ruling. It is not permissible to derive such a ruling from a weak narration
because a weak hadeeth does not import anything except a rejected opinion; and it
cannot be used to establish any of the Sharee’ah rulings as it is well known. Therefore,
this prayer has not been [authentically] reported from him (sallallaahu
alayhi wa sallam). So it is not legislated, unlike praying [two rak’ah] when
one returns from a journey. which is Sunnah.
