1140. It was narrated that 'Āishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever persists in performing twelve Rak'ah from the Sunnah, a house will be built for him in Paradise: four before the Zuhr, two Rak'ah after Zuhr, two Rak'ah after Maghrib, two Rak'ah after the 'Ishā' and two Rak'ah before Farj.'" (Hasan)
1140 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الرَّازِيُّ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ ثَابَرَ عَلَى ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ السُّنَّةِ، بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، أَرْبَعٍ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ»

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.
