حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ أَرْبَعًا، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ تُصَلِّي صَلَاةً تُدِيمُهَا فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ تُفْتَحُ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَلَا تُرْتَجُ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى الظُّهْرُ، فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ لِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ خَيْرٌ " (٣)، ،

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that at the time of decline (zawal), the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) would always perform four rak'ahs. One day I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is this prayer that I see you consistently performing?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "At the time of decline, the gates of the heavens are opened and are not closed until the Zuhr prayer is performed. Therefore, I wish that a good deed of mine ascends to the heavens at that time."
