Arabic text

1250 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ، عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ صَلَّى فِي يَوْمٍ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَطَوُّعًا، بُنِيَ لَهُ بِهِنَّ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»

Commentary

These glad tidings relate to Sunnah prayers said before and after obligatory prayers. These are called Rātībah (fixed) or Mu'akkadah (stressed). The Hadīth shows the importance of maintaining these Sunnah prayers. Other Hadīths list four Rak'ahs before Zuhr prayer and two Rak'ahs after it, two Rak'ahs after Maghrib prayer, two Rak'ahs after Ishā prayer, and two Rak'ahs before the Fajr prayer.
