It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no obligatory prayer except that before it there are (at least) two units (rak‘ahs) of voluntary prayer."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not offer Sunnah prayers before or after the obligatory prayers while on a journey.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform (voluntary) prayer between Maghrib and ‘Isha.

Asim bin Damrah says: We asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about the voluntary prayers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which he used to perform during the day. He said: Indeed, none of you has the strength to perform those prayers. We said: At least tell us, everyone will act according to his ability. He said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the Fajr prayer, he would refrain from performing (additional) prayers until the sun rose and became as high in the east as it is in the west at the time of Asr prayer. At that time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform two rak‘ahs, then pause until the sun became as high in the east as it is in the west at the time of Zuhr. At that time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform four rak‘ahs, then after the sun had declined, before Zuhr, he would perform four rak‘ahs, after Zuhr two, and before Asr four rak‘ahs. (In the four rak‘ah prayers) after every two rak‘ahs, he would pause and supplicate for peace for the close angels, the prophets, and the believing followers, and after the last rak‘ah, he would say the salam.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out an army, and they returned quickly after obtaining a great deal of spoils of war. A man said: O Messenger of Allah! We saw this army that returned very quickly and brought back a lot of spoils. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Shall I not inform you of someone who returns sooner than this army and obtains more spoils than them? (I mean) the person who performs ablution well at home, then walks towards the mosque, performs the Fajr prayer, and after that prays the Duha prayer and then returns (from the mosque); he has returned sooner and obtained more spoils.”

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever offers the Fajr prayer in congregation, then sits and remembers Allah until the sun rises, then prays two rak'ahs, he will receive the reward of a complete, complete, and complete Hajj and Umrah."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the iqamah for (Maghrib) prayer is called and any of you is fasting, then he should eat before offering the Maghrib prayer. (In such a case) do not rush in eating the food."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the recitation of Umm al-Qur’an (Surah al-Fatihah), he would say Ameen aloud.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the Imam says Ameen, you should also say Ameen, for (at that time) the angels also say Ameen, and whoever's Ameen coincides with the Ameen of the angels, his previous sins will be forgiven."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the Imam says «غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين» and says Ameen, then you should also say Ameen, because the angels also say Ameen upon the Imam's supplication, and whoever's Ameen coincides with the Ameen of the angels, his previous sins will be forgiven."
