Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-35946"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd Ibn Aslam from his father that Umar Ibn AlKhattab prayed two rakas with the people of Makka; and then; when he had finished; he said; People of Makka; complete your prayer; becausewe are a group of travellers. Later; Umar prayed two rakas with them at Mina; but we have not heard that he said anything to them on that occasion. Malik was asked whether the people of Makka should pray two rakas at Arafa or four; and whether the amir of the hajj; if he was a Makkan; should pray dhuhr and asr with four rakas or two; and also how the people of Makka who were living at Mina should pray; and he said; The people of Makka should pray only two rakas at Arafa and Mina for as long as they stay there; and should shorten the prayer until they return to Makka. The amir of the hajj; if he is a Makkan; should also shorten the prayer at Arafa and during the days of Mina. Anyone who is living at Mina as a resident should do the full prayer at Mina; and similarly anyone who lives at Arafa and is a resident there should do the full prayer at Arafa.
