Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Zaid: Uthman prayed four rak'ahs at Mina. Abdullah (bin Masud) said: I prayed two rak'ahs along with the Prophet ﷺ and two rak'ahs along with Umar. The version of Hafs added: And along with Uthman during the early period of his caliphate. He (Uthman) began to offer complete prayer (i. e. four rak'ahs) later on. The version of Abu Muawiyah added: Then your modes of action varied. I would like to pray two rak'ahs acceptable to Allah instead of four rak'ahs. Al-Amash said: Muawiyah bin Qurrah reported to me from his teachers: Abdullah (bin Masud) once prayed four rak'ahs. He was told: You criticized Uthman but you yourself prayed four ? He replied: Dissension is evil.
