ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ لِلدَّاخِلِ الْمَسْجِدَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ

ibnhibban:2496Muḥammad b. Ṣāliḥ b. Dharīḥ Biʿukbarā

The Apostle of Allah ﷺ owed me a debt; he paid me back and made an addition (of this). I entered the mosque and he (the Holy Prophet) said to me: Observe two rak'ahs of prayer. (Using translation from Muslim 715a)  

ابن حبّان:٢٤٩٦أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ ذَرِيحٍ بِعُكْبَرَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَوَّاسٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَشْجَعِيُّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ مُحَارِبِ بْنِ دِثَارٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

كَانَ لِي دَيْنٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَضَانِي وَزَادَنِي فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَسْجِدَ فَقَالَ لِي «صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»
