When we are were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) he looked at the moon on the night when it was full, that is, fourteenth, and said : You will see your Lord as you see this (moon) and have no doubts about seeing him. If, therefore, you can keep from being prevented from prayer before the sun rises and before it sets, do so. He then recited :”Celebrate the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting”. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4729)   

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ فَقَالَ «أَمَّا إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لَا تُغْلَبُوا عَلَى صَلَاةٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا فَافْعَلُوا» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا} [طه 130]  

"Prayer in congregation is twenty-five times more virtuous than the prayer of any one of you offered on his own. The angels of the night and the day meet at Fajr prayer. Recite if you wish: Verily, the recitation of the Qur'an in the early dawn is ever witnessed."[1] [1]Al-Isra' 17:78. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 486)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ تَفْضُلُ صَلَاةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَلَى صَلَاةِ أَحَدِكُمْ وَحْدَهُ بِخَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ جُزْءًا وَتَجْتَمِعُ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّيْلِ وَمَلَائِكَةُ النَّهَارِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا} [الإسراء 78]  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'No one will enter the Fire who prays before the sun rises and before it sets.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 487)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَلِجُ النَّارَ أَحَدٌ صَلَّى قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسَ وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ»  

[Machine] "If one of you prays a single unit of the dawn prayer and the sun rises before he finishes, he should also pray another unit." Hammam ibn Yahya disagreed with this."  

«إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ رَكْعَةً مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَيْهَا أُخْرَى» خَالَفَهُ هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى  

[Machine] A man prayed a unit of the dawn prayer, then the sun rose and he said, "Inform me." Khalas ibn Amr reported to me from Abu Rafi that Abu Hurairah narrated to him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He has completed his prayer."  

عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي خِلَاسُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنُّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنُّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يُتِمُّ صَلَاتَهُ»  

“Good men among whom was ‘Umar bin Khattab, and the best of them in my view is ‘Umar, testified before me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘There is no prayer after Fajr until the sun has risen, and there is no prayer after the ‘Asr until the sun has set.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1250)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى تَبْزُغَ الشَّمْسُ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah says to the son of Adam, 'Perform four units of prayer in the beginning of your day, and it will be sufficient for you until the end of it.'" Abu Abdullah Al-Rahman said, "Makhul entered between Kathir bin Murrah and Nuaim Qays Al-Judhami."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ ابْنَ آدَمَ ارْكَعْ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَوَّلِ نَهَارِكَ أَكْفِكَ آخِرَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَدْخَلَ مَكْحُولٌ بَيْنَ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ وَبَيْنَ نُعَيْمٍ قَيْسًا الْجُذَامِيَّ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, from his Lord ﷻ, he said: "O son of Adam, pray four units of prayer at the beginning of the day, and it will suffice for you until the end."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ قَالَ «ابْنَ آدَمَ صَلِّ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ أَكْفِكَ آخِرَهُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, Allah the Exalted has said: "O son of Adam, do not be incapable of performing four units of prayer at the beginning of the day, as it will suffice you until the end." And it was narrated by Ar-Rabi' ibn Sulaiman ibn Dawud, from Abdullah ibn Yusuf, from Al-Haytham ibn Humeid, from Abu Al-A'la ibn Al-Harith, from Makhooul, from Kathir ibn Murrah.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى «ابْنَ آدَمَ لَا تَعْجِزْ عَنْ أَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ أَكْفِكَ آخِرَهُ» 469 وَعَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ بِهِ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah, the Exalted, says: Son of Adam, do not be helpless in performing four rak'ahs for Me at the beginning of the day: I will supply what you need till the end of it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1289)   

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى «ابْنَ آدَمَ ارْكَعْ أَرْبَعَ رَكْعَاتٍ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ أَكْفِكَ آخِرَهُ»  

It was narrated from ʿAli ؓ that The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray at the time of the forenoon (duha). (Using translation from Aḥmad 682)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ «يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى»  

I heard ʿAsim bin Damrah say: We asked ‘Ali ؓ about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the day and he said: You cannot do that. We said: Whoever among us is able to do it [will do it]. He said: When the sun was as high there as it is there the time of ‘Asr, he prayed two rakʿahs, When the sun was as high there as it is there at the time of Zuhr, he prayed four rak’ahs. He prayed four rakʿahs before Zuhr and two afterwards, and [he prayed] four rakʻahs before ‘Asr, separating each two rakʿahs with the greeting (tasleem) upon the angels who are close to Allah, the Prophets, and those who follow them of the believers and the Muslims. (Using translation from Aḥmad 1375)   

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالنَّهَارِ؟ فَقَالَ لَا تُطِيقُونَ كَانَ «إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ هَاهُنَا يَعْنِي الْمَشْرِقَ كَهَيْئَتِهَا مِنْ هَاهُنَا يَعْنِي الْمَغْرِبَ عِنْدَ الْعَصْرِ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ هَاهُنَا يَعْنِي الْمَشْرِقَ كَهَيْئَتِهَا مِنْ هَاهُنَا يَعْنِي الْمَغْرِبَ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ أَرْبَعًا وَبَعْدَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَقَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ أَرْبَعًا وَيَفْصِلُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»  

كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَطْلِعِهَا قِيدَ رُمْحٍ أَوْ رُمْحَيْنِ كَقَدْرِ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَمْهَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا ارْتَفَعَ الضُّحَى صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَمْهَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَقَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَتِلْكَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, "The prayer of the night and the day is two by two." Abu Abdur Rahman said to us, "This is a good chain of narration, but the companions of Ibn Umar differed from Ali Al-Azdi. Saalim, Nafi' and Tawus differed from him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ جَيِّدٌ وَلَكِنَّ أَصْحَابَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ خَالِفُوا عَلِيًّا الْأَزْدِيَّ خَالَفَهُ سَالِمٌ وَنَافِعٌ وَطَاوُسٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Prayers at night are two by two, then if you fear that dawn will come, pray witr with one rak'ah." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1668)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خِفْتَ الصُّبْحَ فَأَوْتِرْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The night prayer is performed in pairs, and the odd prayer is performed as a single unit." Abu Abdur Rahman, Khalid ibn Ziyad ibn Jarwan, the upright Khurasani, narrated this Hadith.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَالْوِتْرُ رَكْعَةً» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالِدُ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ جَرْوٍ خُرَاسَانِيٌّ مُسْتَقِيمُ الْحَدِيثِ  

"Ibn Umar said: "A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about prayer at night. He said: "Two by two, and if you fear that dawn will come, then one.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1667)   

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ «مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيتَ الصُّبْحَ فَوَاحِدَةً»  

My friend (the Prophet ﷺ ) advised me to observe three things: (1) to fast three days a month; (2) to pray two rakʿat of Duha prayer (forenoon prayer); and (3) to pray witr before sleeping. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1981)   

أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ بِثَلَاثٍ «صَوْمِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَالْوِتْرِ قَبْلَ النَّوْمِ وَرَكْعَتَيِ الضُّحَى»  

[Machine] "I have never seen the Prophet of Allah ﷺ offering the duha prayer."  

«مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الضُّحَى قَطُّ»  

[Machine] Indeed, "This prayer is not the one that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ nor the majority of his companions used to perform."  

إِنَّ «هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ مَا صَلَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا عَامَّةُ أَصْحَابُهُ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe four rak'ahs in the forenoon prayer and he sometimes observed more as Allah pleased. (Using translation from Muslim 719c)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى أَرْبَعًا وَيَزِيدُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ» خَالَفَهَا عُرْوَةُ  

I have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observing the supererogatory prayer of the forenoon, but I observed it. And if the Messenger of Allah ﷺ abandoned any act which he in fact loved to do, it was out of fear that if the people practised it constantly, it might become obligatory for them. (Using translation from Muslim 718)  

«مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى قَطُّ وَإِنِّي لَأُسَبِّحُهَا وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيَدَعَ الْعَمَلَ وَهُوَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَعْمَلَهُ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِهِ النَّاسُ فَيُفْرَضُ عَلَيْهِمْ»  

I aksed 'A'isha whether the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe the forenoon prayer. She said: No, except when he came back from a journey. (Using translation from Muslim 717b)   

سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى؟ قَالَتْ «لَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَجِيءَ مِنْ مَغْيَبِهِ»  

[Machine] I stayed with Aisha, and when morning came, she got up and performed ablution, then she entered a room of hers and closed the door. I said, "O Mother of the believers, I have only come to you at this hour." She said, "Come in." So I entered and she got up and performed eight units of prayer. I do not know if her standing in prayer was longer or her bowing or prostration. Then she turned to me and hit my thigh, and said, "O Rumaitha, I saw the Messenger of Allah praying this prayer, and if my parents threatened me to leave it, I would not have left it." [265] And from Muhammad bin Salamah from Ibn Wahb from Amr bin al-Harith from Bukair bin al-Ashajj from Ya'qub bin al-Ashajj from al-Qa'qa bin Hakim that Rumaitha bint Hakim narrated to him, saying that she went to Aisha and mentioned that to her while standing.  

أَصْبَحْتُ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا قَامَتْ فَاغْتَسَلَتْ ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ بَيْتًا لَهَا فَأَجَافَتِ الْبَابَ قُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ عِنْدَكَ إِلَّا لِهَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ قَالَتْ فَادْخُلِي قَالَتْ فَدَخَلْتُ فَقَامَتْ فَصَلَّتْ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُنَّ أَطْوَلُ أَمْ رُكُوعَهُنَّ أَمْ سُجُودُهُنَّ؟ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيَّ فَضَرَبَتْ فَخِذِي فَقَالَتْ يَا رُمَيْثَةُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّيَهَا وَلَوْ نُشِرَ لِي أَبَوَايَ عَلَى تَرْكِهَا مَا تَرَكْتُهَا [267] 485 وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ أَنَّ رُمَيْثَةَ بِنْتَ حَكِيمٍ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرَهُ مَوْقُوفاً  

"I asked whether the Messenger of Allah prayed voluntary prayer when traveling, but I could not find anyone to tell me until Umm Hani' bint Abu Talib told me that he had come during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah). He ordered that a screen be held up, and that was done, and he took a bath; then he prayed eight Rak'ah (units) of voluntary prayer." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 614)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سَبَّحَ فِي سَفَرِهِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُخْبِرُنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَأَمَرَ بِسِتْرٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ خَالَفَهُ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stay at her (Hafsa's) house on the day of the conquest of Mecca. One day, he came to her after the sun had risen. So he commanded for water to be poured for him and washed himself. Then he covered himself and performed ablution. Then he stood up and declared the Takbir, then he performed eight units of prayer. I don't know if his standing during them was longer or his bowing during them was longer, or his prostration. All of that was close and I did not see him do that before or after. Yunus ibn Yazid disagreed with him.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ نَازِلًا عِنْدَهَا يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ فَجَاءَ يَوْمًا بَعْدَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ «فَأَمَرَ بِغُسْلٍ فَسُكِبَ لَهُ ثُمَّ سُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَقَامَ فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ لَا أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُ فِيهِنَّ أَطْوَلُ أَمْ رُكُوعُهُ وَرُكُوعُهُ فِيهِنَّ أَطْوَلُ أَمْ سُجُودُهُ؟ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُنَّ مُتَقَارِبٌ وَلَمْ أَرَهُ فِعْلَ ذَلِكَ قَبْلُ وَلَا بَعْدُ» خَالَفَهُ يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ  

[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] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while traveling, praying eight units of the Dhuha prayer. When he finished, he said, "I have prayed a prayer out of my own will and fear." Then I asked my Lord three things, and He granted me two and denied me one. I asked Him not to destroy my nation with famine, and He granted it. I asked Him not to let their enemies overcome them, and He granted it. And I asked Him not to let them be divided into factions, but He refused.  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ صَلَّى سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى ثَمَانِ رَكْعَاتٍ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ صَلَاةَ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ فَسَأَلْتُ رَبِّي ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَقْتُلَ أُمَّتِي بِالسِّنِينِ فَفَعَلَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوَّهُمْ فَفَعَلَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا فَأَبَى عَلَيَّ  

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. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1103)   

أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى غَيْرُ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ فَإِنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ يَوْمُ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ أَنَّهُ اغْتَسَلَ فِي بَيْتِهَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَالَتْ «مَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَلَّى صَلَاةً أَخَفَّ مِنْهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتِمُّ الرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever prays twelve voluntary Rak'ahs every day, besides the obligatory prayers, a house will be built for him in Paradise." (492) And from Humaid bin Mas'adah, from Bishr bin Al-Mufaddal, from Dawud bin Abi Hind, from Nu'man bin Salim through the same chain.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ صَلَّى كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَطَوُّعًا مِنْ غَيْرِ فَرِيضَةٍ بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» 492 وَعَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ مَسْعَدَةَ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ بِهِ  

"I came to At-Ta'if and entered upon Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan when he was dying. I saw that he was afraid so I said: 'You will be fine.' He said: 'My sister Umm Habibah told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever prays twelve rak'ahs by day or by night, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will build for him a house in Paradise.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1799)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ صَلَّى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً نَافِلَةً بِالنَّهَارِ أَوْ بِاللَّيْلِ بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] "The Friday prayer consists of two units, as well as the prayer of Eid Al-Fitr and the prayer of Eid Al-Adha, which also consist of two units. Likewise, the prayer during travel is to be performed as two units, without shortening the prayer, according to the words of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . Yazid bin Ziyad bin Abi Al-Jad entered between Abdul Rahman bin Abi Layla and Umar Kab bin Ujrah."  

«صَلَاةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَالْفِطْرُ رَكْعَتَانِ وَالنَّحْرُ رَكْعَتَانِ وَالسَّفَرُ رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ غَيْرُ قَصْرٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ» أَدْخَلَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ بَيْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى وَبَيْنَ عُمَرَ كَعْبَ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ  

The prayer when travelling is two rakʿahs, the prayer of [Eid] ul-Adha is two rakʿahs, the prayer of [Eid] ul-Fitr is two rakʿahs and the prayer of Jumuʿah is two rakʿahs, complete not shortened, as stated by Muhammad ﷺ, Sufyan said: On one occasion Zubaid said: I think he was narrating it from ʼUmar. ‘Abdur-Rahman said: Without a doubt. Yazeed - i.e., bin Haroon bin Abi Laila - said: l heard ʿUmar. (Using translation from Aḥmad 257)   

قَالَ عُمَرُ «صَلَاةُ الْأَضْحَى رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْفِطْرِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْمُسَافِرِ رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ غَيْرُ قَصْرٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى»  

"The prayer of Al-Adha is two rak'ahs, the prayer of Al-Fitr is two rak'ahs, the prayer of the traveler is two rak'ahs and the jumu'ah prayer is two rak'ahs, complete and not shortened, upon the tongue of the Prophet ﷺ. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1566)  

قَالَ عُمَرُ «صَلَاةُ الْمُسَافِرِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْأَضْحَى رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْفِطْرِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ وَلَيْسَ بِقَصَرٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ»  

The Prophet ﷺ went out on the day of 'Eid and prayed two rak'ahs, and he did not pray before or after them. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1587)  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا وَلَا بَعْدَهَا»  

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and led them in the ‘Eid prayer, and he did not pray before it or after it. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1291)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ «فَصَلَّى يَوْمَ أَضْحَى لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا وَلَا بَعْدَهَا»  

Have you observed two rak'ahs? He said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Stand and observe them (Using translation from Muslim 875f)  

جَاءَ سُلَيْكٌ الْغَطَفَانِيُّ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَعَدَ سُلَيْكٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّي فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَرَكَعْتَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «قُمْ فَارْكَعْهُمَا»  

"The prayer of Al-Adha is two rak'ahs, the prayer of Al-Fitr is two rak'ahs, the prayer of the traveler is two rak'ahs and the jumu'ah prayer is two rak'ahs, complete and not shortened, upon the tongue of the Prophet ﷺ. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1566)  

«الْأَضْحَى رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْفِطْرِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْمُسَافِرِ رَكْعَتَانِ وَصَلَاةُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَانِ تَمَامٌ لَيْسَ بِقَصْرٍ عَلَى لِسَانِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ»  

Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever among you is to pray after the Friday prayer, then let him pray four." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 523)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ كَانَ مُصَلِّيًا بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيُصَلِّ أَرْبَعًا»  

It was narrated from Salim, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ used to pray two Rak’ah after Jumu’ah. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1131)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1130)  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْجُمُعَةَ انْصَرَفَ فَصَلَّى سَجْدَتَيْنِ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ  

"The Prophet ﷺ invoked Allah for rain and offered a two rakʿat prayer and he put his cloak inside out." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1026)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «اسْتَسْقَى وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَقَلَبَ رِدَاءَهُ»  

[Machine] "We were with the Prophet when the sun was eclipsed, so he stood up and went to the mosque dragging his cloak made of camel's hair. The people followed him and he prayed two Rak'ahs just as you pray."  

«كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَانْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَامَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ مِنَ الْعَجَلَةِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا تُصَلُّونَ»  

Aishah said: "The sun was eclipsed during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and it was called out: 'As-salatu jam'iah (prayer is about to begin in congregation).' So the people gathered and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in prayer, bowing four times in two rak'ahs and prostrating four times." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1473)  

«خُسِفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنُودِيَ الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed during an eclipse in a shaded area near Zamzam, bowing four times and prostrating four times. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1477)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي كُسُوفٍ فِي صِفَةِ زَمْزَمَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ خَالَفَهُمَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ performed six units of prayer in four prostrations, and Waki' bin al-Jarrah and Yahya bin Sa'id witnessed it.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ وَقَفَهُ وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ  

[Machine] "The prayer of the signs is six units (rak'ahs) in four prostrations."  

«صَلَاةُ الْآيَاتِ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ»  

[Machine] About Aisha in the "prayer of the signs is six units of prayer in four prostrations," Abdul Malik ibn Abi Suleiman contradicted her in its chain of transmission and its text.  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فِي «صَلَاةِ الْآيَاتِ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ» خَالَفَهُ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ وَمَتْنِهِ  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed eight rak'ahs and four prostrations during a solar eclipse, and Ata' narrated the same to us, saying: 'Abu Abdur Rahman said: This is a good hadith.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عِنْدَ كُسُوفٍ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ وَعَنْ عَطَاءٍ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ جَيِّدٌ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed on the day the sun was eclipsed, bowing four times in two rak'ahs and prostrating four times. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1469)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «صَلَّى يَوْمُ كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ»
