حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ سَبَّحَ فِي سَفَرٍ حَتَّى أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ

فَأَمَرَ بِسِتْرٍ فَسُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ ‏.‏

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Harith bin Nawfal said:

"I asked whether the Messenger of Allah prayed voluntary prayer when traveling, but I could not find anyone to tell me until Umm Hani' bint Abu Talib told me that he had come during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah). He ordered that a screen be held up, and that was done, and he took a bath; then he prayed eight Rak'ah (units) of voluntary prayer."

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 614).

Al-Sindi — Hashiyat al-Sindi on Sunan Ibn Majah

قَوْله ( سَبَّحَ فِي السَّفَر ) مِنْ التَّسْبِيح أَيْ صَلَّى النَّافِلَة مُطْلَقًا أَوْ صَلَاة الضُّحَى بِخُصُوصِهَا وَلَا يَلْزَم أَنَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يُصَلِّي النَّوَافِل فِي السَّفَر وَهُوَ ظَاهِر وَقَدْ ثَبَتَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّيهَا ثُمَّ سَبَّحَ أَيْ صَلَّى.…

Authentic Sunan Ibn Majah 465

When it was the year of the Conquest (of Makkah), the Messenger of Allah got up to perform a bath and Fatimah screened him. Then he took his garment and wrapped himself in it (such that it became like the towel used to dry oneself).

قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِلَى غُسْلِهِ فَسَتَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَاطِمَةُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ثَوْبَهُ فَالْتَحَفَ بِهِ ‏.‏
