The reciter: And 'Ubayd Allah ibn Ma'dh narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us from Khubayb ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, who heard Hafs ibn 'Asim from Ibn 'Umar, who said:
The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said in Mina the prayer of a traveller (short prayer) ; Abu Bakr and 'Umar did the same and 'Uthmia did it for eight years or six years.
صلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم بمنى صلاة المسافر وأبو بكر وعمر وعثمان ثماني سنين أو قال: ست سنين Hafs said:
Ibn 'Umar would also say two rak'ahs at Mina and then go to bed. I said to him: O uncle, I wish you could have said two rak'ahs (of Sunnah prayer after shorenting the Fard prayer). He said: Were I to do that, I would have completed the prayer.
وكان ابن عمر يصلي بمنى ركعتين ثم يأتي فراشه فقلت: أي عم لو صليت بعدها ركعتين قال: لو فعلت لأتممت الصلاة .
