Sahih Muslim 336b (Book 3, Hadith 87) #7935
Prayer on the Day of Conquest

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) offered eight rak'ahs of the forenoon prayer on the day of the conquest of Mecca.

Umm Hani b. Abu Talib reported: It was the day of the conquest (of Mecca) that she went to the Messenger of Allah and he was staying at a higher part (of that city). The Messenger of Allah got up for his bath. Fatimah held a curtain around him (in order to provide him privacy). He then put on his garments and wrapped himself with that and then offered eight rak'ahs of the forenoon prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا مُرَّةَ، مَوْلَى عَقِيلٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهُ، لَمَّا كَانَ عَامُ الْفَتْحِ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ بِأَعْلَى مَكَّةَ ‏.‏ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَى غُسْلِهِ فَسَتَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَاطِمَةُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ثَوْبَهُ فَالْتَحَفَ بِهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day that Mecca was conquered by Muslims, Umm Hani b. Abu Talib reported that she went to visit Prophet Muhammad and found him in a higher part of the city. He got up for his bath and Fatimah provided him with privacy by holding a curtain around him while he changed into his garments and wrapped himself with it. After this he offered eight rak'ahs of forenoon prayer as an act of worship to Allah Almighty. This hadith shows us how important it is to offer prayers regularly even in times when we are busy or preoccupied with other matters such as conquering a city or any other task at hand. It also teaches us about modesty and respect for privacy which is why Fatimah held a curtain around her father while he changed into his garments so no one could see him without permission from him first.
