Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered a two-rakʿat prayer at Mina. Abu Bakr, ʿUmar and ʿUthman, (during the early years of his caliphate) followed the same practice.

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمِنًى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ صَدْرًا مِنْ خِلاَفَتِهِ

I offered (only a) two rakʿat prayer with the Prophet (at Mina), and similarly with Abu Bakr and with ʿUmar, and then you d offered in opinions. Wish that I would be lucky enough to have two of the four rakʿat accepted (by Allah).

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَمَعَ عُمَرَ ؓ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَفَرَّقَتْ بِكُمُ الطُّرُقُ فَيَا لَيْتَ حَظِّي مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ رَكْعَتَانِ مُتَقَبَّلَتَانِ
