Naufal reported: I had been asking about, as I was desirous to find one among people who should inform me, whether the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) observed the forenoon prayer, but I found none to narrate that to me except Umm Hani, daughter of Abu Talib (the real sister of Hadrat 'Ali), who told me that on the day of the Conquest the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came (to our house) after the dawn had (sufficiently) arisen. A cloth was brought and privacy was provided for him (the Holy Prophet). He took a bath and then stood up and observed eight rak'ahs. I do not know whether his Qiyam (standing posture) was longer, or bending or prostration or all of them were of equal duration.

Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: We too have given protection whom you have given protection, O Umm Hani. Umm Hani said: It was the forenoon (prayer).
