حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ السَّمَّاكِ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَوَّامُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَوْمِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَبِالْوِتْرِ قَبْلَ النَّوْمِ وَبِصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى فَإِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ الْأَوَّابِينَ
English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu al-'Abbas Muhammad ibn al-Sammak, from al-'Awwam ibn Hawshab, from someone who heard Abu Hurayra say — that he said: My beloved (ﷺ) enjoined upon me: fasting three days of every month, and Witr before sleeping, and the Duha prayer — for it is the prayer of the awwabin [those who frequently return to Allah in repentance].
