[Machine] We traveled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and with Umar, and I never saw them pray more than two units. We were lost, but Allah guided us through them, so we follow their example.  

أحمد:٥٧٥٧حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَطَرٌ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَعَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَ عُمَرَ فَلَمْ أَرَهُمَا يَزِيدَانِ عَلَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَكُنَّا ضُلَّالًا فَهَدَانَا اللهُ بِهِ فَبِهِ نَقْتَدِي
