Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَضَّاحِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ بَعْدَ الزَّوَالِ أَرْبَعًا وَيَقُولُ إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ تُفْتَحُ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ أُقَدِّمَ فِيهَا عَمَلًا صَالِحًا.
English Translation
Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi told us: Muhammad ibn Muslim ibn Abi al-Waddah told us, from Abd al-Karim, from Mujahid, from Abdullah ibn al-Sa'ib, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pray four rak'ahs before the noon prayer after the sun's decline, and he would say: "The gates of heaven are opened at that time, and I love that a good deed of mine should ascend during it."
