18.12 Whoever offered Nawafil not after the compulsory Salat but before it

١٨۔١٢ باب مَنْ تَطَوَّعَ فِي السَّفَرِ فِي غَيْرِ دُبُرِ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَقَبْلَهَا

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ performed two units of Fajr prayer during travel.

وَرَكَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ فِي السَّفَرِ.

bukhari:1103Ḥafṣ b. ʿUmar > Shuʿbah > ʿAmr > Ibn Abū Laylá > Mā > Aḥad

Only Um Hani told us that she had seen the Prophet ﷺ offering the Duha (forenoon prayer). She said, "On the day of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ took a bath in my house and offered eight rakʿat. I never saw him praying such a light prayer but he performed perfect prostration and bowing.  

البخاري:١١٠٣حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَالَ مَا أَنْبَأَ أَحَدٌ

أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى الضُّحَى غَيْرُ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ ذَكَرَتْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ اغْتَسَلَ فِي بَيْتِهَا فَصَلَّى ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ فَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَلَّى صَلاَةً أَخَفَّ مِنْهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يُتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ  

bukhari:1104al-Layth > Yūnus > Ibn Shihāb > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿĀmir from his father

Narrated ʿAbdullah bin Amir that his father had told him that he had seen the Prophet ﷺ praying Nawafil at night on the back of his Mount on a journey, facing whatever direction it took.  

البخاري:١١٠٤وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى السُّبْحَةَ بِاللَّيْلِ فِي السَّفَرِ عَلَى ظَهْرِ رَاحِلَتِهِ حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهَتْ بِهِ  

bukhari:1105Abū al-Yamān > Shuʿayb > al-Zuhrī > Sālim b. ʿAbdullāh > Ibn ʿUmar

Ibn ʿUmar said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray the Nawafil on the back of his Mount (carriage) by signs facing any direction." Ibn ʿUmar used to do the same.  

البخاري:١١٠٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُسَبِّحُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ رَاحِلَتِهِ حَيْثُ كَانَ وَجْهُهُ يُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَفْعَلُهُ
