اخبرنا ابو خليفة ، قال: حدثنا ابو الوليد ، وابن كثير ، قالا: حدثنا شعبة ، قال: اخبرني يزيد الرشك ، عن معاذة ، قالت: سالت عائشة :" اكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي الضحى؟"، قالت:" نعم، اربع ركعات ويزيد ما شاء الله" ، قال ابو حاتم رضي الله عنه: إثبات عائشة صلاة الضحى للمصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم ارادت به في البيت دون مسجد الجماعة، لانه صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:" افضل صلاتكم في بيوتكم إلا المكتوبة".
Mu’adhah narrates: I asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offer the Duha prayer? She replied: Yes! He used to offer four rak‘ahs and would add more as Allah willed. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) has mentioned the affirmation of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the Duha prayer. By this, she means at home, not the mosque where congregational prayer is held. The meaning is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The best of your prayers are those which you offer in your homes, except for the obligatory prayer, which is different.”
