حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنِي سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَدَقَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرُ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ الطُّفَاوِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ قَالَ
أَتَيْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ - فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ - فَقَالَ لِي: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، مَا أَعْمَلَكَ إِلَى هَذَا الْبَلَدِ - أَوْ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ - ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا، إِلَّا صِلَةُ مَا كَانَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ وَالِدِي عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ. فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: بِئْسَ سَاعَةُ الْكَذِبِ هَذِهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ - أَوْ أَرْبَعًا. شَكَّ سَهْلٌ - يُحْسِنُ فِيهِمَا الذِّكْرَ وَالْخُشُوعَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ غَفَرَ لَهُ.

I visited Abu Darda in his illness, at the time of his death. He asked me, 'O nephew, what brought you to this city? What is the reason?' I said, 'I came here for no reason, except to maintain the connection between you and my father, Abdullah b. Salam.' Abu Darda said, 'This is a terrible moment of falsehood! I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, saying, "Whoever performs ablution and performs it well, then stands and prays two or four rak'ahs and doubts [whether they are two or four], it is easy for him to remember [Allah] and show humility [in the prayer]. Then he seeks forgiveness from Allah and Allah forgives him.
Notes
Abu Darda narrated this to us, and he was narrated to by Sa'id bin Abu Rabee' Al-Samman, who was narrated to by Sadqah bin Abu Sahl Al-Hunawi. Abdullah and Ahmad bin Abdullah Al-Maliki were confused about the name of the sheikh, and Sālih bin Abu Sadqah said, 'Indeed, he is Sadqah bin Abu Sahl Al-Hunawi.'
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ الْهُنَائِيُّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وَهِمَ فِي اسْمِ الشَّيْخِ فَقَالَ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَدَقَةَ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ صَدَقَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سَهْلٍ الْهُنَائِيُّ
