Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Zaid: Uthman prayed four rak'ahs at Mina. Abdullah (bin Masud) said: I prayed two rak'ahs along with the Prophet ﷺ and two rak'ahs along with Umar. The version of Hafs added: And along with Uthman during the early period of his caliphate. He (Uthman) began to offer complete prayer (i. e. four rak'ahs) later on. The version of Abu Muawiyah added: Then your modes of action varied. I would like to pray two rak'ahs acceptable to Allah instead of four rak'ahs. Al-Amash said: Muawiyah bin Qurrah reported to me from his teachers: Abdullah (bin Masud) once prayed four rak'ahs. He was told: You criticized Uthman but you yourself prayed four ? He replied: Dissension is evil.

Narrated Az-Zuhri: Uthman prayed four rak'ahs at Mina because he resolved to stay there after hajj.

Narrated Az-Zuhri: When Uthman placed his property at at-Taif and intended to settle there, he prayed four rak'ahs. The rulers after him followed the same practice.

Narrated Az-Zuhri: Uthman offered complete prayer at Mina for the sake of bedouins who attended (hajj) in large numbers that year. He led the people four rak'ahs in prayer in order to teach them that the prayer (i. e. noon or afternoon prayer) essentially contained four rak'ahs.

Narrated Harithah ibn Wahb al-Khuzai,: I prayed along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Mina and the people gathered there in large numbers. He led us two rak'ahs in prayer in the Farewell Pilgrimage. Abu Dawud said: Harithah belonged to the tribe of Khuzaah, and they had their houses in Makkah.

Narrated Sulaiman bin Amr bin al-Ahwas: On the authority of his mother: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ throwing pebbles at the jamrah from the botton of wadi (valley) while he was riding (on a camel). He was uttering the takbir (Allah is most great) with each pebble. A man behind him was shading him. I asked about the man. They (the people) said: He is al-Fadl bin al-Abbas. The people crowded. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'O people, do not kill each other ; when you throw pebbled at the jamrah, throw small pebbles.

Sulaiman bin Amr bin Ahwas reported on the authority of his mother: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ near the Jamrat al-Aqabah (the third or last pillar) riding (on a camel) and I saw a pebble between his fingers. He threw the pebbles and the people also threw (stones at the Jamrah).

The aforesaid tradition (No 1963) has also been transmitted by Yazid ibn Abu Ziyad with a different chain of narrators. This version adds the words: He (the Prophet) did not stand near it (the jamrah).

Nafi reported on the authority of Ibn Umar. He (ibn Umar) used to come (to Mina) and threw pebbles three days after the day of sacrifice walking when arriving and returning (both ways). He reported that the Prophet ﷺ used to do so.
