Majma al-Zawaid 3417 — The Duha prayer

وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي سَفَرٍ فَصَلَّى سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ : " إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ صَلَاةَ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ وَسَأَلْتُ رَبِّي ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي ثِنْتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً ، ( أَنْ لَا يَبْتَلِيَ أُمَّتِي بِالسِّنِينِ ، وَلَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوَّهُمْ فَفَعَلَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ ) أَنْ لَا يُلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا فَأَبَى عَلَيَّ " .
قُلْتُ : لِأَنَسٍ عِنْدَ التِّرْمِذِيِّ غَيْرُ هَذَا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: During a journey I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offer eight rak'ahs at the time of Duha. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have offered a prayer in which there is both longing and an aspect of fear. I asked my Lord for three things; He granted me two of them and did not grant me one. I asked Him (after this, some words are missing in the original text:) that He would not afflict my Ummah with years of famine, and that He would not let its enemy prevail over them, and He did so. And I supplicated to Him that He would not divide them into different factions, but He did not accept this request of mine."
(Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Al-Tirmidhi has also recorded a hadith from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), but it is different from this hadith.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
