[Machine] "Two cycles, two cycles, except for the Maghrib prayer, which is three cycles." I said, "What if we were in Dhi al-Majaz?" He asked, "What is Dhi al-Majaz?" I said, "It is a place where we gather, trade, and stay for twenty nights or fifteen nights." He said, "O man, I was in Adharbayjan, I don't know." He said, "Four months or two months." I saw them praying two cycles, two cycles, and I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying them two cycles, two cycles, then he recited this verse, "Certainly, you have in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern." (Quran 33:21) until he completed the verse.
رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ إِلَّا صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ ثَلَاثًا قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كُنَّا بِذِيالْمَجَازِ قَالَ وَمَا ذُو الْمَجَازِ؟ قُلْتُ مَكَانًا نَجْتَمِعُ فِيهِ وَنَبِيعُ فِيهِ وَنَمْكُثُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً أَوْ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ كُنْتُ بِأَذْرَبِيجَانَ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ أَوْ شَهْرَيْنِ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يُصَلُّونَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَرَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ نُصْبَ عَيْنِي يُصَلِّيهِمَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ نَزَعَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ} [الأحزاب 21] حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الْآيَةِ
