باب افْتِتَاحِ الصَّلاَةِ
Chapter: The opening of the Prayer

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ فِي زَمَنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ وَالنَّاسُ مُتَوَافِرُونَ – أَوْ مُتَوَافُونَ – عَنْ صَلاَةِ الضُّحَى، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّهُ صَلاَّهَا – يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ – غَيْرَ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ فَأَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّهُ صَلاَّهَا ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ ‏.‏

It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Harith said: “During the caliphate
of
‘Uthman, when the people were present in large numbers, I asked
about Duha prayer, and I could not find anyone who could tell me that
he, meaning the Prophet (ﷺ), had prayed it, apart from Umm Hani’.
She told me that he had prayed it with eight Rak’ah.”
