Hadith on Duha: Forenoon prayer is better than spoils

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, dispatched a company that acquired a great amount of spoils and returned quickly. A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, we have not had a company of our people return more quickly with greater spoils!” The Prophet said, “Shall I not tell you of a swifter return and greater spoils than this company? A man who performs ablution in the best manner, then sets out to the mosque to pray in it in the morning and ends with forenoon prayer. He has a swifter return and greater spoils.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْثًا فَأَعْظَمُوا الْغَنِيمَةَ وَأَسْرَعُوا الْكَرَّةَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْنَا بَعْثَ قَوْمٍ أَسْرَعَ كَرَّةً وَلَا أَعْظَمَ غَنِيمَةً مِنْ هَذَا الْبَعْثِ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَسْرَعَ كَرَّةً وَأَعْظَمَ غَنِيمَةً مِنْ هَذَا الْبَعْثِ رَجُلٌ تَوَضَّأَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ تَحَمَّلَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ الْغَدَاةَ ثُمَّ عَقَّبَ بِصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى فَقَدْ أَسْرَعَ الْكَرَّةَ وَأَعْظَمَ الْغَنِيمَةَ
