The reason for Abu Hurayrah’s regularity in the Duha prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: The ruling you mentioned a few days ago regarding the Duha prayer has confused me, specifically that one should not be regular in performing it. What is the answer to the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, “My close friend (the Prophet) advised me…” (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Abu Hurayrah did not perform the night prayer because he was occupied with memorizing hadith (may Allah be pleased with him). The Messenger advised him to perform the Witr prayer before sleeping because he was occupied with the hadith, staying up to preserve the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So he would pray the Duha prayer as compensation for the night prayer. Yes.
