Hazrat Abu Nadrah narrates that Hazrat Imran bin Husain passed by our gathering, so a young man stood up and said to him, "Please tell us how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform prayer during Hajj, Jihad, and Umrah?" He came and stood among us and said, "He has asked me about something which I want to tell you all as well. I participated in Jihad with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Until we returned to Madinah, he used to perform two rak‘ahs. I performed Hajj with him, and until we returned to Madinah, he used to perform two rak‘ahs. I stayed with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah in the year of the conquest of Makkah; he stayed there for eighteen nights. During that time, he led us in two rak‘ahs of prayer and then, after the salam, he would say to the people of Makkah, 'Complete your four rak‘ahs, for we are travelers.' I performed Hajj and Jihad with Hazrat Abu Bakr; until we returned to Madinah, he would perform only two rak‘ahs. I performed Hajj several times with Hazrat Umar; until we returned to Madinah, he would perform only two rak‘ahs. I performed Hajj for seven years during the leadership of Hazrat Uthman; he too would perform only two rak‘ahs. Then, in Mina, he performed four rak‘ahs."
