Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5194 — Sayyiduna Uthman led four rak'ahs of prayer
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : صَلَّى عُثْمَانُ بِمِنًى أَرْبَعًا ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ : صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، وَمَعَ عُمَرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ تَفَرَّقَتْ بِكُمُ الطُّرُقُ ، وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّ لِي مِنْ أَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مُتَقَبَّلَتَيْنِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) led four rak'ahs of prayer at Mina. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said (commenting on it): "I prayed two rak'ahs at Mina with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), two rak'ahs with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and two rak'ahs with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. Then your paths parted (and the practices changed). As for me, I wish that in place of these four rak'ahs I had two rak'ahs that are granted acceptance in the court of Allah."
