The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever prays twelve voluntary rak'ahs, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise."

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is regular in praying four rak'ahs before Zuhr and four after it, Allah will make him forbidden to the Fire."

Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One day I went out on some errand, and suddenly I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) walking along. I thought that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had some errand, so I held back. I kept doing so until he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me and beckoned to me. I came to him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) took my hand, and we began walking together. Suddenly there was a man in front of us who was praying and performing many bowings and prostrations. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you think this man is showing off?" I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The narrator says: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) let go of my hand and put his palms together three times, and raising and lowering his hands he said: "Adopt the path of moderation, adopt the path of moderation, adopt the path of moderation, for whoever is excessively severe in this religion, it will overpower him." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he prayed Maghrib with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he kept praying voluntary prayer continuously until the time of Isha came and he prayed Isha.
