389 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا عُبَيْدَةُ الضَّبِّيُّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْمِ بْنِ مِنْجَابٍ، عَنْ قَزَعَةَ، عَنِ الْقَرْثَعِ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا وَيَقُولُ: «إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ تُفْتَحُ أَوِ الْجَنَّةِ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ»
Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform four rak‘ahs after the sun had declined, and he used to say: "At the time of the sun’s decline, the gates of the heavens (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) or the gates of Paradise are opened."
