‘Abad says: Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) came for Hajj, so we also came with him to Makkah. He led us in two rak‘ahs of Zuhr prayer and then went to Dar al-Nadwah. When Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) used to come to Makkah, he would lead four rak‘ahs each for Zuhr, ‘Asr, and ‘Isha prayers, but when he went to Mina and ‘Arafat, he would perform Qasr (shortened) prayers. Then, when he finished Hajj and stayed in Mina, he would perform the full prayer until he left Makkah Mukarramah. After that, when Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) led us in two rak‘ahs of Zuhr prayer, Marwan bin Hakam and ‘Amr bin ‘Uthman went to him and said:“You have attributed the worst fault to your cousin (Sayyiduna ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him).”He asked:“What is that?”They both said:“Do you not know that he used to perform the full prayer in Makkah?”He said:“May you perish! Is there any other way to do what I have done? I have prayed this prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, and Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them).”But they both said again:“Your cousin performed the full prayer, and it is a fault against him that you oppose him.”After that, when Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came for ‘Asr, he led four rak‘ahs.
