حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ ،
وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سِمَاكٌ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ
لِجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ : أَكُنْتَ تُجَالِسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ كَثِيرًا " فَكَانَ لَا يَقُومُ مِنْ مُصَلَّاهُ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ الْغَدَاةَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ ، فَإِذَا طَلَعَتْ قَامَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Narrated Simak: I asked Jabir bin Samurah: Did you sit in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? He replied: Yes, very often. He would not stand from the place he prayed the dawn prayer till the sunrise. When the sun rose, he would stand (to pray Duha).

1294. Commentary:
This hadith is also found in Sahih Muslim, and Imam Nawawi rahimahullah has included this chapter under it «باب فضل الجلوس فى مصلاه بعد الصبح», but in it there is no mention of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performing the Ishraq or Duha prayer.
