Hadith 1156
حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ
قَابُوسَ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : أَرْسَلَ أَبِي إِلَى
عَائِشَةَ ، أَيُّ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُوَاظِبَ عَلَيْهَا ؟ ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ ، يُطِيلُ فِيهِنَّ الْقِيَامَ ، وَيُحْسِنُ فِيهِنَّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ " .
´It was narrated from Qabus that his father said:` “My father sent word to ‘Aishah, asking which prayer the Prophet (ﷺ) most liked to perform regularly. She said: ‘He used to perform four Rak’ah before the Zuhr, in which he would stand for a long time and bow and prostrate perfectly.’”
Hadith 1157
It was narrated from Abu Ayyub that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to perform four Rak’ah before the Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith, and he did not separate them with a Taslim. He said, “The gates of heaven are opened when the sun passes its zenith.”
