وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُصَلِّي الضُّحَى ثَمَانِي رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ: «لَوْ نُشِرَ لِي أَبَوَايَ مَا تركتهَا» . رَوَاهُ مَالك
‘A’isha used to pray eight rak'as in the forenoon, then say, “If my parents were brought back to life for me I would not give up praying them.” Malik transmitted it.
