Abou Al-Nadar, l'esclave de Omar Ibn Oubaidallah a rapporté que Abou Salama Ibn Abdel-Rahman lui a dit: «Je n'ai pas vu ton compagnon faire deux raka'ts en entrant dans la mosquée avant de s'asseoir»? Abou Al-Nadar ajouta: «Il voulait dire Omar Ibn Oubaidallah, et il lui reprochait d'entrer dans la mosquée sans faire deux raka'ts avant de s'asseoir».
