Chapter 178 Desirability of Entering the Mosque near one's Home upon returning from a Journey for offering two Rak'ah Prayer 988. Ka`b bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) returned from a journey, he would proceed straight to the mosque and perform two Rak`ah of (optional) prayer. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Commentary: The performance of two Rak`ah of optional prayer is an expression of gratitude to Allah for the safe return. Naturally, one feels happy on such an occasion.
