Hafs b. 'Asim reported: I fell ill and lbn 'Umar came to inquire after my health, and I asked him about the glorification of Allaah (i. e. prayer) while travelling. Thereupon he said: I accompanied the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) on a journey but I did not see him glorifying Him, and were I to glorify (Him). I would have completed the prayer. Allaah, the Exalted, has said:" Verily there is a model pattern for you in the Messenger of Allaah."
