1179. Narrated Anas bin Sirin: I heard Anas bin Mālik al-Anṣārī رضي الله عنه saying, "An Anṣārī man, who was very fat, said to the Prophet ﷺ, 'I am unable to present myself for the Ṣalāt (prayer) with you.' He prepared a meal for the Prophet ﷺ and invited him to his house. He washed one side of a mat with water and the Prophet ﷺ offered a two Rak'ā (prayer) on it." So-and-so, the son of so-and-so, the son of Al-Jārūd asked Anas, "Did the Prophet ﷺ use to offer the Duḥā prayer?" Anas replied, "I never saw him offering (the Duḥā prayer) except on that day."
