It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allāh be pleased with him) that ‘Umar led the people of Mecca in ẓuhr (early afternoon prayer). So, he gave the final salām after two rak’ah (units of prayer) and said, “Those of you who are from Mecca, complete your prayer; we are on a journey” [Reported by Imam Mālik in Al Muwaṭṭa` 4369]
