[1668] 81 - (...) It was narrated that Ibn Shihâb said: "Ibn 'Abdullâh bin Al-Hârith told me that his father, 'Abdullâh bin Al-Hârith bin Nawfal, said: 'I asked, and I was keen, to find someone who could tell me that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had prayed Duha. But I could not find anyone who could tell me that except Umm Hânî' bint Abî Tâlib. She told me that after the day had grown bright on the day of the Conquest (of Makkah), the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came, and a cloth was brought to form a screen, and he performed Ghusl. Then he stood and prayed eight Rak'ah, and I do not know whether the standing was longer, or the bowing, or prostration; they were all similar in length. And I did not see him offer that prayer before or after."

Arabic text

81 - (336) وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ وَحَرَصْتُ عَلَى أَنْ أَجِدَ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ يُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبَّحَ سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُحَدِّثُنِي ذَلِكَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَتْنِي، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى بَعْدَ مَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ، فَأُتِيَ بِثَوْبٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ، فَاغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ، لَا أَدْرِي أَقِيَامُهُ فِيهَا أَطْوَلُ، أَمْ رُكُوعُهُ، أَمْ سُجُودُهُ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ مُتَقَارِبٌ»، قَالَتْ: «فَلَمْ أَرَهُ سَبَّحَهَا قَبْلُ وَلَا بَعْدُ». قَالَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ: أَخْبَرَنِي
