حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ
الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ
الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ
سَالِمٍ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
"صَلَّى بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَعُمَرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَعُثْمَانَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ صَدْرًا مِنْ إِمَارَتِهِ، ثُمَّ أَتَمَّهَا بَعْدُ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two rak‘ahs of prayer at Mina, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also performed two rak‘ahs, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also performed two rak‘ahs. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) also performed two rak‘ahs at the beginning of his caliphate, then later performed four rak‘ahs.
