Hadith on Duha: The Prophet prays eight cycles in forenoon

Umm Hani’ reported: I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace blessings be upon him, in the year of the liberation, and I found him taking a bath. When the Prophet finished his bath, he performed eight cycles of prayer, and that was in the forenoon.
