أَخْبَرَنَا
ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَرْمَلَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي
يُونُسُ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ ، أَنَّ
أَبَاهُ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ وَحَرَصْتُ عَلَى أَنْ أَجِدَ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ يُخْبِرُنِي ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبَّحَ سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُخْبِرُنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ
أُمِّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، أَخْبَرَتْنِي : " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى بَعْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ النَّهَارِ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ ، فَأَمَرَ بِثَوْبٍ ، فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ ، لا أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُ فِيهَا أَطْوَلُ أَمْ رُكُوعُهُ أَمْ سُجُودُهُ ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ " ، قَالَتْ : " فَلَمْ أَرَهُ سَبَّحَهَا قَبْلُ وَلا بَعْدُ " .
Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Harith narrates from his father: I investigated this matter and was very eager to find someone who could inform me about it—whether the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed the Duha prayer. I found only Lady Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her), who informed me about this: She told me that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, after the day had advanced, the Prophet (peace be upon him) arrived. By his order, a cloth was hung for his privacy, and he performed ghusl (ritual bath). Then he stood up and performed eight rak‘ahs. I cannot determine whether his standing, his bowing, or his prostration was longer; all of these were nearly equal in length. Lady Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her) states: I never saw him perform voluntary prayers at that time, either before or after this occasion.
