وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، قَالَ : مَا أَخْبَرَنِي أَحَدٌ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى ، إِلَّا أُمُّ هَانِئٍ ، فَإِنَّهَا حَدَّثَتْ ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ بَيْتَهَا يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ، فَصَلَّى ثَمَانِي رَكَعَاتٍ ، مَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَلَّى صَلَاةً قَطُّ أَخَفَّ مِنْهَا ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ ، وَالسُّجُودَ " ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَوْلَهُ : قَطُّ .
Abdul Rahman bin Abu Laila reported: No one has ever narrated to me that he saw the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) observing the forenoon prayer, except Umm Hani. She, however, narrated that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) entered her house on the day of the Conquest of Makkah and prayed eight rak'ahs (adding): I never saw a shorter prayer than it except that he performed the bowing and prostration completely. But (one of the narrators) Ibn Bashshar in his narration made no mention of the word: "Never".
