Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: I mentioned this to Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him), so he said: I testify that I heard Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) considering them as one. The narrator stated, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is only one, even if he combined them.
