حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَقَامَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ بِمَكَّةَ يَقْصُرُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَمَنْ أَقَامَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ قَصَرَ وَمَنْ أَقَامَ أَكْثَرَ أَتَمَّ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a stop of seventeen days in Mecca and he shortened the prayer (i.e. prayed two rak'ahs at each time of prayer). Ibn Abbas said: He who stays seventeen days should shorten the prayer; and who stays more than that should offer complete prayer. Abu Dawud said: The other version transmitted by Ibn 'Abbas through a different chain adds: He (the Prophet) had a stop of nineteen days (in Mecca).
