Abu Bakra saw some people praying the forenoon prayer and said, "They are praying a prayer that neither the Messenger of Allah ﷺ nor most of his companions ever performed."
حدثنا علي بن عبد الله حدثنا معاذ بن معاذ حدثنا شعبة حدثني فضيل بن فضالة قال حدثني
رأى أبو بكرة ناسا يصلون الضحى فقال إنهم ليصلون صلاة ما صلاها رسول الله ﷺ ولا عامة أصحابه رضي الله عنهم
Its isnad is hasan, on account of Fudayl bin Fadala, though others have differed with him. Indeed, a great many reports have come with a similar meaning, that the companions used to pray Duha, and we have already indicated that this is found in the Sahihayn. See the difference of opinion in Fath al-Bari 3/55, number 1177, and 3/56, number 1178, along with their commentary. But perhaps what is meant is his praying it in front of the people.
