The Hajj has its own rulings and some of which are so unique that it gives pilgrims concessions in certain acts of worship like shortening the prayer, and it lifts hardship by allowing certain rites to be shifted to perform them before other rites, and so on. In this hadeeth, Haarithah ibn Wahb (ra) recounts that the Messenger of Allah ﷺshortened the four-units prayers, namely Thuhr, ‘Asr and ‘Ishaa, which he ﷺoffered as two-units prayers. As for the Maghrib prayer, he ﷺoffered it according to its original form i.e., three units prayer. This happened in the Farewell Hajj when the Prophet ﷺwas at Minaa, which is located in the east of Makkah on the road between Makkah and Mount of ‘Arafah. The site is about 6 km away from the Sacred Mosque and it is where the rite of throwing the stones is performed. At that time, Muslims were in a state of strength, abundance, and total security and safety from enemy, which indicates that shortening the prayer in Minaa is prescribed due to the rite and not because of fear or travelling. One of the benefits of the hadeeth is learning about the keen interest of the Companions (ras) to follow the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ..
