Hadith 291
حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ مَرْزُوقٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى حَتَّى نَقُولَ: لَا يَدَعُهَا، وَيَدَعُهَا حَتَّى نَقُولَ: لَا يُصَلِّيهَا "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform the Duha (forenoon) prayer with such regularity that we would say, "He will never abandon it now," and sometimes he would leave it with such regularity that we would say, "He will not perform it now."
