# Salat has a fixed length

According to 4:101 that during war the Salat can be shortened. Since 4:102 consists of two units and each group does only a single unit, then this must be a shortened form of the Salat.

> \[4:101] **When you travel, during war, you commit no error by shortening your Contact Prayers (Salat), if you fear that the disbelievers may attack you.** Surely, the disbelievers are your ardent enemies.
