English narration
Narrated by أنس بن مالك الأنصاري
I heard Anas saying, "A man from Ansar said to the Prophet, 'I cannot pray with you (in congregation).' He was a very fat man and he prepared a meal for the Prophet (ﷺ) and invited him to his house. He spread out a mat for the Prophet, and washed one of its sides with water, and the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed two rak`at on it." A man from the family of Al-Jaruid [??] asked, "Did the Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray the Duha (forenoon) prayer?" Anas said, "I did not see him praying the Duha prayer except on that day."
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرينَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ : إِنِّي لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَكَ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا ضَخْمًا ، "
فَصَنَعَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ ، فَبَسَطَ لَهُ حَصِيرًا وَنَضَحَ طَرَفَ الْحَصِيرِ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ
" ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ الْجَارُودِ لِأَنَسِ : أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى ، قَالَ : مَا رَأَيْتُهُ صَلَّاهَا إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ .
