حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ لَمَّا اتَّخَذَ عُثْمَانُ الأَمْوَالَ بِالطَّائِفِ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ بِهَا صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا قَالَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ الأَئِمَّةُ بَعْدَهُ .
When Uthman placed his property at at-Ta’if and intended to settle there, he prayed four rak’ahs. The rulers after him followed the same practice.
