6.2 Shortening the prayer in Mina

٦۔٢ باب قَصْرِ الصَّلاَةِ بِمِنًى

(402) bukhari:1082Musaddad > Yaḥyá > ʿUbaydullāh > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh

I offered the prayer with the Prophet, Abu Bakr and ʿUmar at Mina and it was of two rakʿat. ʿUthman in the early days of his caliphate did the same, but later on he started praying the full prayer.  

(٤٠٢) البخاري:١٠٨٢حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ قَالَ

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَمَعَ عُثْمَانَ صَدْرًا مِنْ إِمَارَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَتَمَّهَا  

(403) bukhari:1656Ādam > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq al-Hamdānī > Ḥārithah b. Wahbal-Khuzāʿī

The Prophet ﷺ led us in a two-rakʿat prayer at Mina although our number was more than ever and we were in better security than ever.  

(٤٠٣) البخاري:١٦٥٦حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ ؓ قَالَ

صَلَّى بِنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ مَا كُنَّا قَطُّ وَآمَنُهُ بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ
