23 Evidence from Qur ’ an and Sunnah

24 The unconfirmed Sunnah prayers: `Abdullah Ibn `Umar (RA) narrated: “I offered with Allah's Prophet a two Rak`ahs prayer before the Zhuhr (Noon) prayer and two Rak`ahs after the Zhuhr prayer, two Rak`ahs after Jumu`ah (Friday), Maghrib (Sunset) and `Isha’ (Evening) prayers.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari)

25 `A’ishah (RA) narrated: “The Prophet never missed four rak`ahs before the dhuhr (noon) prayer and two rak`ahs before the fajr (dawn) prayer.” (Reported by al-Bukhariyy)

26 The Prophet (SAWS) said: “There is a prayer between the two adhans (adhan and iqamah).” (Reported by al-Bukhariyy and Muslim)

27 The Prophet (SAWS) said: “May Allah show mercy to a man who prays four Rak`ahs before the Afternoon prayer.” (Reported by at-Tirmidhiyy)

28 Nawafil (voluntary prayers): The Prophet (SAWS) said: “Allah, the Exalted, said, ‘And My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing nawafil (pray or do extra good deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him.” (Reported by al-Bukhariyy)

29 The Prophet (SAWS) said: “The first thing about which the people will be called to account out of their actions on the Day of Judgment is prayer. Our Lord, the Exalted, will say to the angels - though He knows better: Look into the prayer of My servant and see whether he has offered it perfectly or imperfectly. If it is perfect, that will be recorded perfect.

30 If it is defective, He will say: See if there are some optional prayers (nawafil) offered by My servant. If there are optional prayers to his credit, He will say: Compensate the obligatory prayer by the optional prayer for My servant. Then all the actions will be considered similarly.” (Reported by Abu-Dawud, at-Tirmidhiyy, and Ahmad)

31 The prayer of greeting the mosque: The Prophet (SAWS) said: “If anyone of you enters a mosque, he should not sit until he has offered a two Rak`ahs prayer.” (Reported by al-Bukhariyy and Muslim)

32 Duha prayer: “The Prophet of Allah (SAWS) said: “Allah, the Exalted, says: Son of Adam, do not be helpless in performing four Rak`ahs for Me at the beginning of the day, and I will supply what you need till the end of it.” (Reported by At-Tirmidhi)

33 Tarawih prayer for the month of Ramadan: The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said: “He who performs the optional prayer during Ramadan out of faith and hoping to earn a reward, his past sins will be pardoned.” (Reported by al-Bukhariyy and Muslim)

34 Two Rak`ahs after performing ablution: The Prophet (SAWS) said: “If a Muslim performs ablution and does it well and offers prayer, all his (sins) during the period from one prayer to another would be pardoned by Allah.” (Reported by Muslim)

35 Arrival from a travel: Ka`b Ibn-Malik (RA) narrated: “When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came back from a journey, he used to start with the mosque wherein he prayed two Rak`ahs.” (Reported by Muslim)

36 The two Rak`ahs prayer of repentance: The Prophet (SAWS) said: “When a servant (of Allah) commits a sin, and he performs ablution well, and then stands and prays two rak`ahs, and asks pardon of Allah, Allah pardons him.” (Reported by at-Tirmidhiyy)

37 Before the prayer of Sunset: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “’Pray before the Maghrib (Sunset) prayer.’ He (said it thrice) and in the third time, he said, ‘Whoever wants to offer it can do so.’” (Reported by Al-Bukhari)

38 Istikharah prayer: The Prophet (SAWS) said: “If anyone of you thinks of doing any job, he should offer a two rak`ahs prayer other than the compulsory ones and say (after the prayer): O Allah! I ask guidance from Your Knowledge, And power from Your Might and I ask for Your Great Blessings. You are capable and I am not. You know and I do not know and You know the unseen.

39 O Allah! If You know that this job is good for my religion and my subsistence and in my hereafter-(or said: If it is better for my present and later needs)-then ordain it for me and make it easy for me to get and then bless me in it.

40 And if You know that this job is harmful to me in my religion and subsistence and in the Hereafter-(or said: If it is worse for my present and later needs) then keep it away from me and let me be away from it, and ordain for me whatever is good for me, and make me satisfied with it).

41 The Prophet added that the person should name (mention) his need.” (Reported by al-Bukhariyy, at-Tirmidhiyy, an- Nasa’iyy, and Abu-Dawud)

42 Need prayer: The Prophet (SAWS) said: “He who performs ablution properly and then performs two rak`ahs while perfecting them, Allah will give him what he asks sooner or later.” (Reported by Ahmad)

43 Tasbih (glorification) prayer: The Prophet of Allah (SAWS) said to Al-`Abbas Ibn-`Abdul-Muttalib: “`Abbas, my uncle, shall I not give you, shall I not present to you, shall I not donate to you, shall I not produce for you ten things? If you act upon them, Allah will forgive you your sins, first and last, old and new, involuntary and voluntary, small and great, secret and open. These are the ten things: you should pray four rak`ahs, reciting in each one Fatihat al- Kitab and a Surah.

44 When you finish the recitation of the first rak`ah, you should say fifteen times while standing,). “Subhana Allah Wal Hamdu Lillah Wa La Ilaha Illa Allah Wallahu Akbar” (Glory be to Allah, Praise be to Allah, There is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest.

45 Then, you should bow and say it ten times while bowing. Then, you should raise your head after bowing and say it ten times. Then, you should kneel down in prostration and say it ten times while prostrating yourself.

46 Then, you should raise your head after prostration and say it ten times. Then, you should prostrate yourself and say it ten times. Then, you should raise your head after prostrating and say it ten times. These are seventy-five times in each Rak`ah.

47 You should do that in four Rak`ahs. If you can observe it once daily, do so; if not, then once weekly; if not, then once a month; if not, then once a year; if not, then once in your lifetime.” (Reported by Abu-Dawud, at-Tirmidhiyy, and Ibn-Majah)

48 Prostration of gratitude: The Prophet (SAWS) said: “I begged my Lord and made intercession for my people, and He gave me a third of my people, so I prostrated myself in gratitude to my Lord. Then I raised my head and begged my Lord for my people, and He gave me a third of my people, so I prostrated myself in gratitude to my Lord. Then I raised my head and begged my Lord for my people and He gave me the remaining third, so I prostrated myself in gratitude to my Lord.” (Reported by Abu-Dawud)

49 Recitation prostration: The Prophet (SAWS) said: “When the son of Adam recites the Ayah (verse) of Sajdah (prostration) and then falls down in prostration, Satan goes into seclusion and weeps and says: Woe unto me, the son of Adam was commanded to prostrate, and he prostrated and Paradise was entitled to him, and I was commanded to prostrate, but I refused and I am doomed to Hell.” (Reported by Muslim)

50 `Amr Ibn Al-`As (RA) narrated: “ The Prophet (SAWS) taught me fifteen prostrations while reciting the Qur'an, including three in al-Mufassal (The Surahs starting from Qaf Surah to the end of the Noble Qur’an) and two in Surah al-Hajj.” (Reported by Abu-Dawud)
