2187. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Shaqīq said: "I said to 'Āishah: 'Did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ offer Duḥa prayer?' She said: 'No, unless he was returning from a journey.' I said: 'Was the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ known to observe any fast regularly apart from Ramaḍān?' She said: 'By Allāh, he did not observe any fast regularly apart from Ramaḍān until he passed away, and he did not break his fast for a whole month, rather he would fast some of it (each month).'" (Saḥīḥ)

Commentary
"Returning from a journey": Allāh's Messenger ﷺ generally entered Madīnah when the day had advanced a little, or in the bright morning hours when the sun was well up. Then he would, first of all, proceed to the mosque and would perform a two-unit prayer. It may have been Salātut Dhuhā - the midmorning prayer or the prayer of the bright morning hours (considering the time); or prayer of greeting the mosque - Tahiyyatul Masjid (considering the occasion).
