Hadith 1223
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الدِّرْهَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هَارُونَ ، عَنِ الْعَوَّامِ هُوَ ابْنُ حَوْشَبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي بِثَلاثٍ لَسْتُ بِتَارِكِهِنَّ : أَنْ لا أَنَامَ إِلا عَلَى وِتْرٍ ، وَأَنْ لا أَدَعَ رَكْعَتَيِ الضُّحَى فَإِنَّهَا صَلاةٌ الأَوَّابِينَ ، وَصِيَامِ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ "
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that my friend and beloved (Prophet) ﷺ advised me regarding three things, which I will never abandon: that I should sleep after performing Witr prayer, that I should not leave two rak‘ahs of Duha prayer because that is the prayer of the oft-returning (to Allah), and he advised me to fast three days every month.
Hadith 1224
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ الرَّقِّيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لا يُحَافِظُ عَلَى صَلاةِ الضُّحَى إِلا أَوَّابٌ " . قَالَ : " وَهِيَ صَلاةُ الأَوَّابِينَ " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : لَمْ يُتَابَعْ هَذَا الشَّيْخُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَى إِيصَالِ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ ، رَوَاهُ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ مُرْسَلا ، وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَوْلَهُ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Only an awwab (one who repents much) can maintain and be diligent in the Duha prayer, and he said: And this is the prayer of the awwabeen." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that no narrator has followed up Sheikh Ismail bin Abdullah in narrating this report as a connected narration. This narration has been reported by Darawardi from Muhammad bin Amr, from Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) as a mursal narration, and Hammad bin Salamah has also narrated it from Muhammad bin Amr as a statement of Sayyiduna Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) (i.e., he has narrated it as mawquf).
