"No one maintains the ḍuḥā prayer except a repentant person, and it is the prayer of the repentant." It was recorded by Ibn Khuzaymah in his "Ṣaḥīḥ" (1224) and al-Ḥākim (1/314) from Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Zurārah al-Raqī, who narrated to us from Khālid ibn ʿAbd Allāh, who narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: and he mentioned it. Al-Ḥākim said: "Authentic according to the conditions of Muslim"! Al-Dhahabī agreed with him. I say: That is one of their errors, for Muslim only included Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr as a corroborative narrator. And Ibn Zurārah was not included by Muslim at all! He is truthful, but al-Azdī spoke against him without evidence, as mentioned in "Taqrīb," so the chain is good, and Ibn Khuzaymah criticized it by saying afterward: "This shaykh Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAbd Allāh was not followed in transmitting this report; it was narrated by al-Darāwardī from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr from Abū Salamah in a mursal form. And it was narrated by Ḥammād ibn Salamah from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr from Abū Salamah as his statement." I say: Ibn Zurārah was not the only one who connected it, for he was followed by: Firstly, Muḥammad ibn Dīnār, who narrated to us from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr in it. It was recorded by Ibn ʿAdī (folio 301/1) and he said: "Muḥammad ibn Dīnār al-Ṭāḥī is good in ḥadīth, and most of his narrations are unique to him." Al-Ḥāfiẓ said in "Taqrīb": "Truthful but poor in memory." Secondly, ʿĀṣim ibn Bakkār al-Laythī from Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr in it
