باب صَلاَةِ الضُّحَى

English narration

Narrated by أبو ذر الغفاري

Narrated Abu Dharr: The Prophet ﷺ as saying: In the morning alms are due for every bone in man's body. His salutation to everyone he meets is alms, his enjoining good is alms, his forbidding what is evil is alms, the removal of harmful thing from the way is alms, to have sexual intercourse with one's wife if alms, and two rak'ahs which one prays in the Duha serve instead of that. Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by 'Abbad is more perfect (than the version narrated by Musaddad). Musaddad did not mention in his version "the command (of good) and the prohibition (of evil)". Instead, he added in his version saying: "Such and such. " Ibn Ma'na added in his version: "They (the people) said: Messenger of Allah, how is that one of us fulfills his desire and still there are alms for him (i. e. is rewarded)? He replied: What do you think if you had unlawful sexual intercourse, would he not have been a sinner ?

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ . ح حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْمَعْنَى ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "

يُصْبِحُ عَلَى كُلِّ سُلَامَى مِنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ صَدَقَةٌ تَسْلِيمُهُ عَلَى مَنْ لَقِيَ صَدَقَةٌ ، وَأَمْرُهُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ صَدَقَةٌ ، وَنَهْيُهُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ ، وَإِمَاطَتُهُ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ ، وَبُضْعَةُ أَهْلِهِ صَدَقَةٌ ، وَيُجْزِئُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ رَكْعَتَانِ مِنَ الضُّحَى

" . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَحَدِيثُ عَبَّادٍ أَتَمُّ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مُسَدَّدٌ الْأَمْرَ وَالنَّهْيَ ، زَادَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ، وَقَالَ : كَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَزَادَ ابْنُ مَنِيعٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَحَدُنَا يَقْضِي شَهْوَتَهُ وَتَكُونُ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ ؟ قَالَ : " أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ وَضَعَهَا فِي غَيْرِ حِلِّهَا أَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَأْثَمُ ؟ " .
