Please explain Salatul Al-Awwabin and the daleel that supports it. I cannot locate a hadith about this Salah.
Salat Al-Awwabin is known as Salat Ad-Duha, and may consist of 2, 4, 6 or 8 Rak`ahs. It should be prayed after the sun has risen and before the time for Dhuhr approaches.
Praise be to Allah.
Salat Al-Awwabin is otherwise known as Salat Ad-Duha, and may consist of 2, 4, 6 or 8 Rak`ahs.
Salat Al-Awwabin should be prayed after the sun has risen and before the time for Dhuhr approaches. It is better to delay it until the day is hotter.
The evidence for Salat Al-Awwabin is as follows:
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The phrase Salat Al-Awwabin is when the young camels lift up their feet (because of the heat of the sand) refers to when the sand becomes unbearably hot from the sun’s heat, and burns the soles of the young camels feet, so they alternately raise and lower their feet in response to the heat of the sand.
Al-Awwab means one who is obedient, or one who turns to obedience. The Hadith also refers to the best time to offer this prayer, although it is permissible to pray it any time after the sun has risen and before it reaches its zenith. (End quote from Sharh Muslim)
