أي ساعة (تصلى) الضحىWhen Should Duha Prayer Be Performed?
Hadith 8019
٨٠١٩ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا شريك عن دثار القطان عن الثعمان بن (نافذ) (١) أن عليا خرج فرأى قوما يصلون الضحى عند طلوع الشمس فقال: ما لهم نحروها نحرهم اللَّه فهلا تركوها حتى إذا كانت (بالجبين) (٢) صلوا فتلك صلاة الأوابين (٣).
Hazrat Nu’man bin Nafiz narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saw some people performing the Duha prayer at the time of sunrise. He said: They have hastened in performing this prayer, may Allah also hasten goodness for them. If they had performed it after the sun had risen high, it would have been better, because the prayer at that time is the prayer of the Awabeen (the righteous servants who turn to Allah).
