حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَقَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبَّادٍ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ حَاجًّا قَدِمْنَا مَعَهُ مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى دَارِ النَّدْوَةِ قَالَ وَكَانَ عُثْمَانُ حِينَ أَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ صَلَّى بِهَا الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ وَالْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ أَرْبَعًا أَرْبَعًا فَإِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى مِنًى وَعَرَفَاتٍ قَصَرَ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ الْحَجِّ وَأَقَامَ بِمِنًى أَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى بِنَا الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ نَهَضَ إِلَيْهِ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَا لَهُ مَا عَابَ أَحَدٌ ابْنَ عَمِّكَ بِأَقْبَحِ مَا عِبْتَهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ فَقَالَا لَهُ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ أَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا وَيْحَكُمَا وَهَلْ كَانَ غَيْرُ مَا صَنَعْتُ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُهُمَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُمَا قَالَا فَإِنَّ ابْنَ عَمِّكَ قَدْ كَانَ أَتَمَّهَا وَإِنَّ خِلَافَكَ إِيَّاهُ لَهُ عَيْبٌ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى الْعَصْرِ فَصَلَّاهَا بِنَا أَرْبَعًا.
English Translation
Ya'qub narrated to us: my father narrated to us from Ibn Ishaq: Yahya ibn 'Abbad ibn 'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr narrated to us from his father 'Abbad, who said: When Mu'awiya came to us as a pilgrim, we came with him to Mecca. He led us in the noon prayer, two rak'ahs, then went to the House of Assembly (Dar al-Nadwa). He said: 'Uthman, when he used to complete the prayer upon arriving in Mecca, would pray the noon, afternoon, and final night prayer fully, four rak'ahs each; but when he went out to Mina and 'Arafat he would shorten the prayer, and when he had finished the Hajj and stayed at Mina he would complete the prayer until he left Mecca. So when he (Mu'awiya) led us in the noon prayer with two rak'ahs, Marwan ibn al-Hakam and 'Amr ibn 'Uthman rose to him and said: 'No one has faulted your cousin more severely than you have faulted him by this.' He said to them: 'What do you mean?' They said: 'Do you not know that he used to complete the prayer in Mecca?' He said to them: 'Woe to you both! Was there anything but what I have done? I prayed these two rak'ahs with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and with Abu Bakr and 'Umar, may Allah be well pleased with them both.' They said: 'But your cousin used to complete it, and your opposing him is indeed a fault.' So Mu'awiya went out for the 'Asr prayer and led us in it with four rak'ahs.
