Hadith 2247
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً فَغَنِمُوا وَأَسْرَعُوا الرَّجْعَةَ فَتَحَدَّثَ النَّاسُ بِقُرْبِ مَغْزَاهُمْ وَكَثْرَةِ غَنِيمَتِهِمْ وَسُرْعَةِ رَجْعَتِهِمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى أَقْرَبَ مِنْهُ مَغْزًى وَأَكْثَرَ غَنِيمَةً وَأَوْشَكَ رَجْعَةً، مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ غَدَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ لِسُبْحَةِ الضُّحَى فَهُوَ أَقْرَبُ مَغْزًى وَأَكْثَرُ غَنِيمَةً وَأَوْشَكُ رَجْعَةً))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out an army. They obtained spoils of war and returned quickly. People talked about how quickly the battle ended, the abundance of spoils they acquired, and their swift return. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not guide you to something that is closer in terms of expedition, greater in terms of spoils, and nearer in terms of return? Whoever performs ablution and then goes to the mosque to offer the Duha (forenoon) prayer, that person is closer in terms of expedition, greater in spoils, and quicker in return.
Hadith 2248
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنْ حَافَظَ عَلَى شُفْعَةِ الضُّحَى غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever regularly performs the two rak‘ahs of Duha prayer, all his sins will be forgiven, even if they are as much as the foam of the sea.
Hadith 2249
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي بِثَلَاثٍ: صَوْمِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ، وَصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى، وَلَا أَنَامُ إِلَّا عَلَى وَتْرٍ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who says that my beloved (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) gave me these three counsels: to fast three days every month, to perform the Duha (forenoon) prayer, and to sleep after performing the Witr prayer.
Hadith 2250
عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ فَقَالَ: ((مَنْ قَامَ إِذَا اسْتَقَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ غُفِرَ لَهُ خَطَايَاهُ فَكَانَ كَمَا وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that he went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the expedition of Tabuk. One day, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was conversing with his companions, and among the things he said was: Whoever stands at that time when the sun has risen high, then performs ablution well and offers two units of prayer, his sins will be forgiven and he will become as if his mother had given birth to him on that very day.
Hadith 2251
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ! لَا تَعْجِزَنْ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ نَهَارِكَ أَكْفِكَ آخِرَهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, Allah the Exalted says: O son of Adam! Do not be incapable of offering four rak‘ahs at the beginning of the day; (if you perform this prayer) I will suffice you at the end of the day.
Hadith 2252
عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ حَمَّارٍ الْغَطْفَانِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: صَلِّ لِي يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ! أَرْبَعًا فِي أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ أَكْفِكَ آخِرَهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Naeem bin Hammar Ghatafani, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Your Lord says: O son of Adam! Perform four units of prayer for Me at the beginning of the day, I will suffice you at the end of the day (from all needs and difficulties).
Hadith 2253
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثٍ لَا أَدَعُهُنَّ لِشَيْءٍ أَوْصَانِي بِثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ، وَأَنْ لَّا أَنَامَ إِلَّا عَلَى وَتْرٍ وَسُبْحَةِ الضُّحَى فِي الْحَضَرِ وَالسَّفَرِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that my beloved friend Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him) advised me regarding three things, which I will never abandon for any reason. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised me to fast three days every month, to sleep only after performing the Witr prayer, and to offer the Duha (forenoon) prayer whether at home or on a journey.
Hadith 2254
عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((يُصْبِحُ عَلَى كُلِّ سُلَامَى مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ صَدَقَةٌ، وَكُلُّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَتَهْلِيلَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَتَكْبِيرَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَتَحْمِيدَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ وَأَمْرٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ صَدَقَةٌ، وَنَهْيٌ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَيُجْزِي أَحَدَكُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ رَكْعَتَانِ يَرْكَعُهُمَا مِنَ الضُّحَى))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you wakes up in the morning, there is a charity due on every joint of his body. Saying SubhanAllah is charity, saying La ilaha illallah is charity, saying Allahu Akbar is charity, enjoining good is charity, and forbidding evil is charity. (In this way, by performing these acts, the charity due on these limbs can be fulfilled.) And two rak‘ahs performed at the time of Duha suffice for all these.
Hadith 2255
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((كُتِبَ عَلَيَّ النَّحْرُ وَلَمْ يُكْتَبْ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَأُمِرْتُ بِرَكْعَتَيِ الضُّحَى وَلَمْ تُؤْمَرُوا بِهَا)) (مسند أحمد: 2917)
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The (Eid al-Adha) sacrifice has been made obligatory upon me, but it has not been made obligatory upon you, and I have been commanded to perform two units of Duha prayer, whereas you have not been commanded to do so.
Hadith 2256
(وَمِنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمِرْتُ بِرَكْعَتَيِ الضُّحَى وَبِالْوِتْرِ وَلَمْ يُكْتَبْ، وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: ((عَلَيْكُمْ))
(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I have been commanded to perform two rak‘ahs of Duha (forenoon prayer) and Witr, but these things have not been made obligatory upon you.
