Virtues of Sunan & Nawafil

Hadith 1: It is in Sahih Bukhari Shareef from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who has enmity with any of my Wali (Beloved Friends), I have announced a war against him, and My servant does not attain closeness to me through anything as he does through his Faraa’id, and he continuously attains closeness due to his Nawafil (optional prayers), until such time that I make him my Beloved; and if he asks anything (from Me), I will give it to him. If he requests refuge, I will give him refuge.’ [Al Hadith]

Hadith 2&3: Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi and Nasa’i report from Ummul Momineen Umme Habeeba رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘That Muslim who performs 12 Raka’ats of Tataw’wu (Nafil) with the exception of his Fard, Allah will make for him a house (Mansion) in Paradise; The 4 Raka’at before Zuhr, the 2 after Zuhr, the 2 after Maghrib, the 2 after Esha and the 2 before Fajr.’ The breakdown and detail of the Raka’ats is only mentioned in Tirmizi Shareef. Tirmizi, Nasa’i and Ibn Majah have mentioned from A’isha Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that the one who safeguards them will enter Paradise.

Hadith 4: It is in Tirmizi from Abdullah ibn Ab’bas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The ending of the stars is the 2 Raka’ats before Fajr and the ending of the Sujood are the 2 Raka’ats after Maghrib.’

Hadith 5: Muslim and Tirmizi report from Ummul Momineen A’isha Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that Nabi  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The 2 Raka’ats of Fajr are better than the world and all that is in it.’

Hadith 6: Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud and Nasa’i report from her (A’isha رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا). Huzoor  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم did not safeguard any other Nafil as much as he safeguarded this (Sunnat of Fajr).

Hadith 7: Tabrani reports from Abdullah ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that a person said, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! Please inform me of such a practice by which Allah will grant me benefit.’ He  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Make the 2 Raka’ats of Fajr necessary upon you. They hold great excellence.’

Hadith 8: Abu Ya’la also reports from him with the merit of the narration being Hassan, that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘(Surah Ikhlaas) قُلْ ھُوَ اللہُ اَحَدٌ is equal to one third of the Qur’an; قُلْ یٰاَیُّھَا الْکٰفِرُوْن (Surah Kafirun) is equal to quarter of the Qur’an’, and he  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم would recite both of them in the Sunnats of Fajr, and he would say, ‘They possess the desires of the era.’

Hadith 9: Abu Dawud reports from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Do not omit (i.e. leave) the Sunnats of Fajr even if the enemies horses come upon you (i.e. if you are attacked).’

Hadith 10: Ahmed, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi, Nasa’i and Ibn Majah report from Ummul Momineen Umme Habeeba رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The one who safeguards the 4 Raka’ats before Zuhr (i.e. before the Fard) and the 4 Raka’ats after, Allah will make him Haraam upon the fire (of hell)’. Tirmizi mentioned this Hadith to be Hassan Sahih Ghareeb.

Hadith 11: Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah report from Abu Ayub Ansari رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘The 4 Raka’ats before Zuhr (Fard) wherein Salaam is not turned in the centre, for this the doors of the sky are opened.’

Hadith 12: Ahmed and Tirmizi have reported from Abdullah ibn Saa’ib رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  would perform 4 Raka’ats after the sun descended and before the (Fard of) Zuhr, and he صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  would say, ‘This is such a (blessed) time wherein the Doors of the sky are opened, so I love in this moment that some virtuous deeds of mine be elevated.’

Hadith 13: Baz’zaar reported from Thaubaan رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  loved the performing of 4 Raka’ats after midday. Ummul Momineen A’isha رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا said, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم ! I have observed that Huzoor  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم loves to read Namaaz in this time’. He صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘It is a time when the Doors of the Sky are opened and Allah looks towards the creation with special Mercy, and Hazrat Adam, Hazrat Nuh, Hazrat Ibraheem, Hazrat Musa and Hazrat Esa علیہم الصلاۃ والسلام safeguarded this Namaaz.’

Hadith 14&15: Tabrani reports from Bara ibn Aazib رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘One who performed the 4 Raka’ats before Zuhr, it is as though he has performed 4 Raka’ats of Tahaj’jud; and the one who performed 4 Raka’ats after Esha (i.e. Fard of Esha) then it is equivalent to 4 (Raka’ats) on the Night of Power (Lailatul Qadr). Similar narrations are also reported from Hazrat Umar Farooq-e- Azam and other Sahaba-e-Kiraam رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہم.

Hadith 16: Ahmed, Abu Dawud and Tirmizi report from Abdullah ibn Umar رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that Rasoolullah  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم said, ‘Allah have Mercy on that person who reads the 4 Raka’ats before Asr (i.e. before Fard of Asr).’

Hadith 17: Tirmizi reported from Maula Ali رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم used to perform 4 Raka’ats before (the Fard of) Asr. The narration of Abu Dawud mentions 2 Raka’ats.

Hadith 18&19: Tabrani reported in Kabeer from Ummul Momineen Salma رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that Rasoolullah صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘One who reads the 4 Raka’ats before Asr, Allah will make his body Haraam upon the fire (of hell)’. Another narration of Tabrani from Amr bin A’as رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ mentions that in a gathering of Sahaba-e-Kiraam amongst whom was also present Hazrat Umar bin Khattab رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ , the Beloved Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  said, ‘The fire will not touch the one who reads the 4 Raka’ats before Asr.’

Hadith 20/21: Razeen reported from Makhool (a Mursal narration) that he says, ‘One who reads two Raka’ats after Maghrib without talking, his Namaaz is raised to the (heights) of Illiyeen’. Another Narration mentions 4 Raka’ats. Also he reports from Huzaifa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that he says that he used to say that after Maghrib both the Raka’ats should be read swiftly, as they are presented together with the Fard.

Hadith 22: Tirmizi and Ibn Majah report from Abu Hurairah رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that he said, ‘One who reads 6 Raka’ats after Maghrib and he does not speak any vile words in-between these, it will be equal to the Ibaadat of 12 years.’

Hadith 23: Tabrani reports from Am’maar bin Yaasir رضی اللہ تعالٰی عنہما that he said, ‘One who performs 6 Raka’ats after Maghrib, his sins shall be forgiven, even if they be equivalent to the foam on the sea.’

Hadith 24: It is reported in Tabrani from Ummul Momineen A’isha Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that one who reads 20 Raka’ats after Maghrib, Allah will construct for him a house (Mansion) in Jannat (Paradise).

Hadith 25: Abu Dawud reports from her (A’isha Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا)whereby she mentions. When the beloved Nabi صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم  would come to my home after Esha, he would perform 4 or 6 Raka’ats.
