614. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin Hârith bin Nawfal said: "I asked whether the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed voluntary prayer when travelling, but I could not find anyone to tell me until Umm Hânî' bint Abu Tâlib told me that he had come during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah). He ordered that a screen be held up, and that was done, and he took a bath; then he prayed eight Rak'ah (units) of voluntary prayer." (Sahih)

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ stayed in Makkah on the occasion of its conquest in the capacity of a 'person on a journey'. In spite of it, he performed the forenoon (Dhuha) voluntary prayer. He, however, did not perform the Sunnah prayer (regular supererogatory prayer performed before and after the obligatory prayers).
