Q
What was Ibn `Umar’s practice regarding visiting the Mosque of Quba and offering prayers there?
A
Ibn `Umar never offered the Duha prayer except on two occasions:
(1) Whenever he reached Mecca; and he always used to reach Mecca in the forenoon. He would
perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba and then offer two rak`at at the rear of Maqam Ibrahim.
(2) Whenever he visited Quba, for he used to visit it every Saturday. When he entered the Mosque, he
disliked to leave it without offering a prayer. Ibn `Umar narrated that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to visit the
Mosque of Quba (sometime) walking and (sometime) riding. And he (i.e. Ibn `Umar) used to say, “I
do only what my companions used to do and I don’t forbid anybody to pray at any time during the day
or night except that one should not intend to pray at sunrise or sunset.”
