اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُسْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : صَحِبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ سَفَرًا " فَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ تَرَكَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ إِذَا زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ " .
Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: I accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on eighteen journeys and I never saw him fail to pray two rak'ahs when the sun had passed the meridian before offering the noon prayer.

English Commentary:
1:
All other scholars have declared him to be unknown (majhool),
and the narration of a majhool (unknown narrator) is weak.
2: This is a narration from Sahih Bukhari.
3:
The most authentic and clear hadith on this subject is that of Ibn Umar,
which has already been mentioned under number 544.
The evidence of Ibn Umar radi Allahu anhuma is both textual (naqli) and rational (‘aqli): firstly, that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and Abu Bakr and Umar radi Allahu anhuma did not perform the regular Sunnah (sunnah ratibah) prayers,
secondly, if the regular Sunnah were to be performed, then the very purpose of reducing the obligatory (fard) prayers would be lost.
If the regular Sunnah were to be performed, then what would be the meaning of reducing the obligatory prayers? As for the fact that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed Duha and other prayers during some journeys,
everyone agrees on performing general voluntary (nafl) prayers when there is opportunity.
4:
Everyone agrees on performing general voluntary (nafl) prayers, but the hadiths regarding the regular Sunnah (sunan ratibah) are weak in their chains of narration.
Note:
(The narrator “Abu Busrah al-Ghifari” is weak in hadith [layyin al-hadith].)
