1567. It was narrated that 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "The prayer of Al-Adhha is two Rak'ahs, the prayer of Al-Fitr is two Rak'ahs, the prayer of the traveler is two Rak'ahs and the Jumu'ah prayer is two Rak'ahs, complete and not shortened, upon the tongue of the Prophet ﷺ. (Sahīh)
1566 - أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ الْأَيَامِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ذَكَرَهُ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: «صَلَاةُ الْأَضْحَى رَكْعَتَانِ، وَصَلَاةُ الْفِطْرِ رَكْعَتَانِ، وَصَلَاةُ الْمُسَافِرِ رَكْعَتَانِ، وَصَلَاةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ لَيْسَ بِقَصْرٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

This issue is also agreed upon. There is no disagreement regarding it. Even so, if one misses Salātul Jumu'ah with congregation, he should perform four Rak'ahs. The two 'Eid prayers (the 'Eidain), however, invariably consist of two Rak'ahs only.
