English translation

1818. It was narrated from Umm Ĥabîbah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever prays four Rak'ahs before Zuhr and four after, the Fire will not touch him." (Sahîh) Abû 'Abdur-Rahman said: This is a mistake, and the correct narration of Marwân is from Sa'eed bin 'Abdul-'Azîz.[1]

Arabic text

1817 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قُتَيْبَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشُّعَيْثِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَأَرْبَعًا بَعْدَهَا لَمْ تَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ»، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «هَذَا خَطَأٌ، وَالصَّوَابُ حَدِيثُ مَرْوَانَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ»

Commentary

1. Imâm An-Nasâ'î has recorded several different chains of transmission (as many as twenty-four) of the narration of Umm Habibah ﷺ. He had to resort to such lengthy repetitions in order to reveal some transmitters' errors. 2. In some narrations, there is mention of four Rak'ahs before the 'Isha' and the 'Asr prayers; and their merits have also been stated. But they are not established or insisted customary observances (Sunan Al-Mu'akkada) because Allâh's Messenger ﷺ did not perform them regularly. It has, however, been encouraged. These units, therefore, are commendable. 3. Imâm An-Nasâ'î, here, has recorded only those narrations which consist of twelve units. In some narrations, instead of twelve units, the very same recompense has been described upon the performance of ten units. In them, before the noon prayer, instead of four, two units have been stated. Even so, if one resorts to occasionally offering two units, there is no harm in doing so. But the usual practice should be of four units.
