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)
614 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، سَبَّحَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُخْبِرُنِي، حَتَّى أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ، «فَأَمَرَ بِسِتْرٍ، فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ، فَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ»

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).
