أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُرَّةَ مَوْلَى عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهَا ذَهَبَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَوَجَدَتْهُ يَغْتَسِلُ، وَفَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُهُ تَسْتُرُهُ بِثَوْبٍ . قَالَتْ: فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَذَلِكَ ضُحًى . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَنْ هَذِهِ؟". فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا أُمُّ هَانِئٍ . قَالَتْ: "فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ غُسْلِهِ، قَامَ فَصَلَّى ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ مُلْتَحِفًا فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ" . فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، زَعَمَ ابْنُ أُمِّي أَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ رَجُلًا أَجَرْتُهُ: فُلَانَ بْنَ هُبَيْرَةَ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "قَدْ أَجَرْنَا مَنْ أَجَرْتِ يَا أُمَّ هَانِئٍ" ..
Lady Umm Hani bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that she went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of the conquest of Makkah and found him performing ghusl (ritual bath), and Lady Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) was screening him. Lady Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I greeted him with salam, and it was the time of Duha (forenoon). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who is this?" I said: It is Umm Hani. She said: Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his ghusl, he stood up and performed eight rak‘ahs of prayer wrapped in a single garment. When he finished the prayer, I said: O Messenger of Allah! My brother (from my mother’s side) thinks that he will kill the person whom I have granted protection; he is so-and-so ibn Hubayrah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umm Hani, the one whom you have granted protection, we have granted him protection."

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 1490 to 1492)

Sayyidah Umm Hani radi Allahu anha was the paternal cousin of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the real sister of Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu.

In this hadith, the point of relevance is that at the time of Duha (forenoon), the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed eight units (rak‘at) of prayer. Regarding this, some scholars have said that this was the Duha prayer (Salat al-Duha), while others have said that it was the prayer of gratitude (shukr) for the Conquest of Makkah.

And Allah knows best.
