La Sunnah

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I prayed the noon prayer (Dhuhr) with the Prophet ﷺ in Madinah as four rak‘ahs, and the afternoon prayer (‘Asr) in Dhul-Hulayfah as two rak‘ahs."

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 1102

La Science

The concession to shorten the four-unit prayers to two is a mercy easing the burden of worship during travel, allowing the traveller to keep prayer without strain.
