[Machine] I asked the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about the Dhuha prayer, but I couldn't find anyone who could tell me about it until I came to Umm Hani, the daughter of Abu Talib. So I asked her, and she said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the house of Fatimah in Makkah on a Friday and asked for a room filled with water. He poured it over himself and Fatimah covered him. Then he performed eight units of prayer without praying before or after them."  

الطبراني:٢١٤٩٦حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ

أَدْرَكْتُ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُمْ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الضُّحَى فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْهَا حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَسَأَلْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ «أَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْتَ فَاطِمَةَ بِمَكَّةَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ فَدَعَا بِغَرْفَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَصَبَّهَا ثُمَّ اغْتَسَلَ وَسَتَرَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ فَصَلَّى ثَمَانِ رَكَعَاتٍ لَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَهَا وَلَا بَعْدَهَا»
