Sahih Muslim: Book 6, Hadith 27

Ibrahim reported: I heard ‘Abd al-Rahman as saying; ‘Uthman led us four rak’ahs of prayer at Mina. It was reported to Abdullah b. Mas’ud and he recited:” Surely we are Allah’s and to Him shall we return,” and then said: I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at Mina two rak’ahs of prayer. I prayed along with Abu Bakr al-Siddiq two rak’ahs of prayer at Mina. I prayed along with ‘Umar b. Khattab two rak’ahs of prayer at Mina. I wish I had my share of the two rak’ahs acceptable (to God) for the four rak’ahs.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، يَقُولُ صَلَّى بِنَا عُثْمَانُ بِمِنًى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقِيلَ ذَلِكَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَيْتَ حَظِّي مِنْ أَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ رَكْعَتَانِ مُتَقَبَّلَتَانِ ‏.‏
