Hadith.1562 - Abdul Wahid ibn al-Mukhtar al-Ansari narrated from Abu Ja'far 
, who said:
"I asked him about the Duha prayer”
Imam said: ‘The first people to perform it were your people, for they were among the heedless, so they performed it.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not perform it.'
He also said: 'Imam Ali passed by a man who was performing it, and Imam Ali said: ‘What is this prayer?’
The man replied: ‘Should I leave it, O’ Commander of the Faithful?’
He (Imam Ali ) said: ‘Would I forbid a servant when he prays?’".
