Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Saeed bin Nafi’ says that Abu Basheer Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who is a companion of the Messenger, saw me while I was performing the Duha prayer at the time of sunrise. He considered my action objectionable and forbade me from doing so, and said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do not pray until the sun has risen, for it rises between the horns of Satan.”
