It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) that a blind man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Supplicate to Allah that He grant me well-being (my sight). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, I will postpone it, which is better for you; and if you wish, I will supplicate." He said: Please supplicate. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to make ablution well, pray two rak'ahs, and make this supplication: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka wa atawajjahu ilayka bi-nabiyyika Muhammadin nabiyyi al-rahmah, ya Muhammadu inni tawajjahtu bika ila rabbi fi hajati hadhihi fa-tuqda li, Allahumma shaffi'hu fiyya wa shaffi'ni fihi' ("O Allah! I ask You and turn to You through Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet of mercy. O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Through you I have turned to my Lord in this need of mine, so that it may be fulfilled for me. O Allah! Accept his (peace and blessings be upon him) intercession for me, and accept my request for him (peace and blessings be upon him).") This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep the marriage proposal hidden, then make ablution well, then pray as much as Allah wills, then praise and glorify your Lord, then say: 'Allahumma innaka taqdiru wa la aqdiru, wa ta'lamu wa la a'lamu, wa anta 'allamu al-ghuyub, fa-in ra'ayta li fulanata (naming her by her name) khayran li fi dini wa dunyaya wa akhirati fa-qdurha li, wa in kana ghayruha khayran li minha fi dini wa dunyaya wa akhirati fa-qdi li biha', or he said: 'fa-qdurha li' (O Allah! You have power and I have no power, You know and I do not know, and You are the Knower of all the unseen. So if You see that such-and-such a woman (thing) (naming her) is better for me in my religion, my worldly life and my Hereafter, then decree her for me; and if someone other than her is better for me than her, then decree that for me)." This is a rare sunnah regarding the prayer of seeking guidance (salat al-istikharah), in whose narration the people of Egypt are alone, and all of its narrators are trustworthy (thiqah); however, the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None is regular in the forenoon (Duha) prayer except one who constantly turns to Allah in repentance," and he said: "It is the prayer of the Awwabin (those who constantly turn back to Allah)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but they did not record it with this wording.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during a journey praying eight voluntary rak'ahs of the forenoon (Duha). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he said: "I have offered this prayer with longing and with fear, and I asked my Lord for three things; He granted me two and withheld one from me. I asked that He not destroy my Ummah through years of famine, and Allah granted this. I asked that no outside enemy be made to overpower them, and Allah granted this too. And I asked that He not split them into factions among themselves, and Allah refused that." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it with this wording; they only agreed upon the hadith of Sayyidah Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her) about the eight rak'ahs.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pass away until most of his (peace and blessings be upon him) prayers had come to be offered sitting. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it!

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray both standing and sitting. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer standing, he also bowed standing, and when he began the prayer sitting, he also bowed sitting. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this wording. I have previously recorded the hadith of Abdullah bin Shaqiq from Aishah through the narration of Humayd, and this hadith of Ibn Sirin is a sahih supporting witness (shahid) for what preceded.

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I suffered from haemorrhoids, so I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pray standing; if you are not able, then sitting; and if you are not able even to do that, then pray lying on your side." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this wording; Imam Bukhari recorded it only in brief, through the narration of Husayn al-Mu'allim.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him): I travelled with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) eighteen times, and I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) leave the two rak'ahs at the time the sun passes its zenith. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him): I made more than ten journeys with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I never saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) leave the two rak'ahs before Zuhr.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from any place where he had stopped, he would bid that place farewell by praying two rak'ahs. This hadith is sahih (authentic), but they did not record it, and Uthman bin Sa'd al-Katib is among those whose hadith is collected among the Basrans.
