Abdur Rahman bin Yazid says that when Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) performed four rak'ahs in the plain of Mina, Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have performed two rak'ahs in Mina with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), as well as with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). I wish that instead of these four rak'ahs, I would have a share in just two accepted rak'ahs.
