Salat-ut-Tasbih   Hadith: Ibn 'Abbas Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said to 'Abbas: O 'Abbas! O my uncle! Shall I not give you? Shall I not present you? Shall I not gift you? Shall I not tell you an action if performed, you would get ten benefits; Allah will forgive your sins, the past and the future, the old and new, (committed) unknowingly and knowingly , minor and major, secret and open? You should offer four Rak'at- reciting in each one Surah Fatiha and a Surah, and when you finish the recitation in the first Rak'at, you should say fifteen times while standing: Suhhanallahi Walhamdulillahi wa La illaha illallahu Wallahuakbar. Then you should perform Ruku', and say it ten times while you are in Ruku'. Then you should raise your head after Ruku' and say it ten times while standing. Then you should go down in Sajdah and say it ten times. Then you raise your head from Sajdah and say it ten times while sitting. Then you should perform the second Sajdah and say it ten times. Then you should raise your head and say it ten times while sitting. That is seventy five times in every Rak'at. You should do that in all the four Rak'at. If you can offer this (Salat-ut-Tasbih) once daily, do so; if not, then once every Friday; if not, then once a month; if not, then once a year; if not, then once in your lifetime.

Hadith: Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that once Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam asked Bilal at Fajr Salat: O Bilal! Tell me that deed of yours which is most hopeful (for reward) after embracing Islam, for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise (in my dream). Bilal replied: I have not done anything extraordinary except that whenever I performed Wudu during the day or night, I offer Salat (Tahiyatul-Wudu) after that, as much as was written or granted for me. (Bukhari: 1149)

Hadith: Buraidah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: There are three hundred and sixty joints in a body of a person: and Sadaqah is due from every joint. The Sahabah asked: Who would be able to give that much Sadaqah O Nabiyallah? He said: To bury spit thrown in the masjid is Sadaqah; to remove a troublesome thing from the way is Sadaqah; and offering two Rak'at Salatud-Duha suffices as Sadaqah (for all the joints of the body).

Hadith: Abu Umamah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Indeed, the most enviable among my friends is the believer who is light burdened (of children and worldly goods); has his full share of Salat, excellent in his Rabb's worship and he also obeys Him in seclusion. Being inconspicuous, people do not point at him. His livelihood is barely sufficient and he is patient. Then Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam snapped his fingers (as one does to illustrate something happening very quickly) and said: He dies early, without many women to lament him, nor leaving behind a large inheritance. (Tirmidhi: 2347)

Hadith: Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: The first of his deeds, for which a man will be taken into account on the Day of Resurrection, will be his Salat. If it is sound, he will be saved and successful; but if it is corrupt, he will be unfortunate and miserable. If any deficiency is found in his (obligatory) Salat, Allah 'Azza wa Jall will say: "Look at My slave, whether he has any Nafl Salat so that what is lacking in the (obligatory) Salat may be made up by it." Then the rest of his actions Saum, Zakat etc. will also be dealt with a similar manner (Tirmidhi: 413)

Hadith: 'Abdullah Ibn Saib Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam used to offer four Rak'at after the sun had passed the meridian, before the Zuhr Salat, and said: This is the hour in which the gates of the sky are opened and I desire that some of my good deeds ascend the sky at this moment. (Tirmidi: 478)

Note: The four Rak'at before Zuhr are understood to be Sunna-tul-Muakkadah. However, according to some other Muslim Scholars these four Rak'at , after the sun has passed the meridian, are in addition to the four Rak'at of Sunna-tul-Muakkada
