Hadith 289
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَالَ: مَا أَخْبَرَنِي أَحَدٌ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى إِلَّا أُمُّ هَانِئٍ، فَإِنَّهَا حَدَّثَتْ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ بَيْتَهَا يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَسَبَّحَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى صَلَاةً قَطُّ أَخَفَّ مِنْهَا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ»
Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila narrates that no one except Sayyida Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her) informed me that she saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) performing the Duha prayer. She (Sayyida Umm Hani, may Allah be pleased with her) told me that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came to her house on the day of the conquest of Makkah, performed ghusl (ritual bath), and then prayed eight rak‘ahs. She says: I never saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) perform such a light prayer as he did on that day, though he performed the bowing and prostration completely.
