I had been asking about, as I was desirous to find one among people who should inform me, whether the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed the forenoon prayer, but I found none to narrate that to me except Umm Hani, daughter of Abu Talib (the real sister of Hadrat 'Ali), who told me that on the day of the Conquest the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came (to our house) after the dawn had (sufficiently) arisen. A cloth was brought and privacy was provided for him (the Holy Prophet). He took a bath and then stood up and observed eight rak'ahs. I do not know whether his Qiyam (standing posture) was longer, or bending or prostration or all of them were of equal duration. She (Umm Hani) further said: I never saw him saying this Nafl prayer prior to it or subsequently. (Al-Muradi narrated on the authority of Yunus that he made no mention of the words:" He informed me." )  

سَأَلْتُ وَحَرَصْتُ عَلَى أَنْ أَجِدَ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ يُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبَّحَ سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُحَدِّثُنِي ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ أَنَّ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَى بَعْدَ مَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَأُتِيَ بِثَوْبٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ لاَ أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُ فِيهَا أَطْوَلُ أَمْ رُكُوعُهُ أَمْ سُجُودُهُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ مُتَقَارِبٌ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ سَبَّحَهَا قَبْلُ وَلاَ بَعْدُ قَالَ الْمُرَادِيُّ عَنْ يُونُسَ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ أَخْبَرَنِي  

[Machine] Um Hani, the daughter of Abu Talib, told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came after the day had passed on the day of the conquest. He ordered for a cloth to be brought and covered himself with it. Then he performed ablution, stood up, and performed eight units of prayer. I do not know if his standing, bowing, or prostration were longer. All of that was close together. She said, "I had not seen him perform a prayer before or after that which he praised before or after."  

حَدَّثَهُأَنَّ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى بَعْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَمَرَ بِثَوْبٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُ فِيهَا أَطْوَلُ أَوْ رُكُوعُهُ أَوْ سُجُودُهُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ مُتَقَارِبٌ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ سَبَّحَهَا قَبْلُ وَلَا بَعْدُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the morning (Duha) prayer and I couldn't find anyone to inform me about it except for Umm Hani bint Abi Talib, who informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed it after the day had risen on the day of the conquest. He ordered for a garment to be brought to cover him, then he performed ablution and stood up and performed eight units of prayer. I do not know whether his standing or his bowing or his prostration was longer in duration. All of that was performed consecutively. She said: "I did not see him reciting anything before or after it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَبَّحَ سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُخْبِرُنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَتْنِي «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَى بَعْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَمَرَ بِثَوْبٍ يَسْتُرُ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُ فِيهَا أَطْوَلُ أَمْ رُكُوعُهُ أَمْ سُجُودُهُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ يُسَبِّحُهَا قَبْلُ وَلَا بَعْدُ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Dhuha prayer until I heard Umm Hani' saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came after the sun had risen on the day of the conquest (of Mecca) and ordered for a cloth to be spread, then he performed ghusl (ablution) and stood up and prayed eight units (rakats). I do not know if his standing, bowing, or prostrating in them was longer, all of that was close (in length). I did not see him performing any prayer before or after it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الضُّحَى حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ تَقُولُ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى بَعْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَمَرَ بِثَوْبٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا أَدْرِي قِيَامُهُ فِيهَا أَطْوَلُ أَوْ رُكُوعُهُ أَوْ سُجُودُهُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مُتَقَارِبٌ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ سَبَّحَهَا قَبْلُ وَلَا بَعْدُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Duha prayer. I did not find anyone to inform me except Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib, who told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came after the sun had risen on the day of the conquest (of Makkah). He commanded for a garment to be brought, and he covered himself with it. Then, he performed ghusl (ritual purification) and stood up to pray. He performed eight raka'ahs (units) of prayer, and I do not know if his standing, bowing, or prostration was longer. All of that was done close together. I did not see him performing it before or after that.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَبَّحَ سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى فَلَمْ أَجِدُ أَحَدًا حَدَّثَنِي غَيْرُ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَتْنِي «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى بَعْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَمَرَ بِثَوْبٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا أَدْرِي قِيَامُهُ أَطْوَلُ أَمْ رُكُوعِهِ أَمْ سُجُودِهِ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مُتَقَارِبٌ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ سَبَّحَهَا قَبْلُ وَلَا بَعْدُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came after the day of victory had risen, and he commanded for a garment to be brought and covered himself with it. Then he performed ablution and stood up, and he performed eight units of prayer. I do not know whether his standing or his bowing or his prostration was longer in duration. All of that was done in proximity. She (the narrator) said: "I did not see him perform any supplication (subhanallah) before or after it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى بَعْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَمَرَ بِثَوْبٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُ فِيهَا أَطْوَلُ أَمْ رُكُوعُهُ أَمْ سُجُودُهُ؟ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ مُتَقَارِبٌ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ أَرَهُ سَبَّحَهَا قَبْلُ وَلَا بَعْدُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Dhuha prayer. Umm Hani bint Abi Talib told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came after the day had risen on the day of the conquest. He commanded for a garment to be brought and covered himself with it. Then he performed ghusl (ritual ablution), stood up and prayed eight units of prayer. I do not know if his standing was longer or his bowing or his prostration, all of that was close in length.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَبَّحَ سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى فَحَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى بَعْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَمَرَ بِثَوْبٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُ فِيهَا أَطْوَلُ أَمْ رُكُوعُهُ أَمْ سُجُودُهُ؟ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مُتَقَارِبٌ  

"عَنْ أَم هَانئ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتى بَعْد مَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فيها يَوْمَ الْفَتْح فَأَمَر بَثَوب يَسْتُر عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُم قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَمَانِى رَكَعَاتٍ لَا أَدْرِى أَقِيَامه أَطْول أو ركُوعه أو سُجَودهُ (*) كل ذَلِكَ مِنْه يَتَقَارَبُ".
