حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّعْرَانِيُّ ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ قَالَ أَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ
نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَهْرًا فَنَقَبْتُ فِي عَمَلِهِ كُلِّهِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ «إِذَا زَالَتْ أَوْ زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي يَدِهِ عَمَلُ الدُّنْيَا رَفَضَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ نَائِمًا فَكَأَنَّمَا يُوقَظُ لَهُ فَيَقُومُ فَيَغْسِلُ أَوْ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ يُتِمَّهُنَّ وَيُحْسِنُهُنَّ وَيَتَمَكَّنُ فِيهِنَّ» فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْطَلِقَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَكَثْتَ عِنْدِي شَهْرًا وَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ مَكَثْتَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَنَقِبْتُ فِي عَمَلِكَ كُلِّهِ فَرَأَيْتُكَ «إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ زَاغَتْ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي يَدِكَ عَمَلُ الدُّنْيَا رَفَضْتَهُ وَأَخَذْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ يُفَتَّحْنَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ فَلَا تُرْتَجَنَّ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَأَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى تُصَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى رَبِّي فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَاتِ خَيْرٌ وَأَنْ يُرْفَعَ عَمَلِي فِي أَوَّلِ عَمَلِ الْعَابِدِينَ» حذفه الذهبي من التلخيص لضعفه

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed with me for a month, and I observed his every action. I saw him, when the sun set or moved away, reject worldly possessions if they were in his hands, and if he was sleeping, he would be awakened and stand up to perform ablution and pray. Then he would perform four units of prayer, perfecting and beautifying them. When he intended to depart, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you stayed with me for a month, and I wished that you stayed longer. So, I observed your every action, and I saw you, when the sun set or moved away, reject worldly possessions if they were in your hands and focus on prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the gates of heaven are opened at that hour. So, do not miss the opportunity to have the gates of heaven and the gates of Paradise opened for you until you perform this prayer." He then said, "I loved to ascend to my Lord in those hours, as it is better and my actions would be raised at the beginning of the actions of the worshippers." [This hadith has been narrated by Al-Dhahabi, who excluded it from the summarization as it is considered weak.]
