Commentary
The most important of all the prayers are the obligatory prayers. Alongside the obligatory prayers, the prayers emphatically enjoined by the Prophet ﷺ known as Sunan Mu'akkadah (compulsory) have their own importance. They must not, therefore, be neglected.
It is also allowed to offer two Rak'ah (instead of four) before prayer for the Zuhr (Sahih Al-Bukhārī: H. 1172 & Sahih Muslim: 104).
As we shall see under Hadith. 1160, it is also in order to perform four Rak'ah (Sunnah) after the obligatory prayer for the Zuhr.
