(16) CHAPTER. Whenever a person travels after midday, he should offer the Zuhr prayers and then ride for a journey.
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Whenever the Prophet (saws) started on a journey before noon, he used to delay the Zuhr prayers till the time for the 'Asr prayer and then he would dismount and offer them together; and whenever the sun declined before he started on a journey he used to offer the Zuhr prayers and then ride (for journey).
