Explanation
The Hadīth shows the way the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) combined between the prayers one night when he was at Al-Muzdalifah after his return from ‘Arafah. He combined Maghrib prayer with Ishā' prayer and shortened the latter to two Rak‘ahs only with one Adhān for both and one Iqāmah for each.
