Asalaamu Alaikum Wr Wb, the prayer you are referring to is Dhuhaa Salaat (Breakfast prayer) or Chaasht namaaz.

When the sun has risen high and there is heat in its rays, the performance of 2,4, 6,8 or 12 rakaats is called Namaaz-e-Chaast. This is full of countless rewards.

The Traditions says that the performance of 2 rakaats wipes away all ones sins. There are 360 joints in our body and to pay Sadakah for each is Wajib (obligatory) The 2 rakaaats is enough to pay all the Sadakah. Performance of 4 rakaats places the performer's name among the Abids and is the Sunnat of Saliheen and promise the performer protection until the evening. The performer of 6 rakaats is relieved of his day's worries. Performance of 8 rakaats places his name among the Parhezgaars and the performer of 12 rakaats ensures a Golden Mansion or castle for himself in Paradise. (Ref : Tirmizi, Ibne Majah, Ahmad and Abu Yala)

The Mustahabb (preferred) time of performing Salat al-Dhuhaa is after 1/4 of the day has passed. This is deduced from a Hadith of Muslim. (Halabi; Sharah Kabeer pg.390). From many Ahaadith, we understand that Salat al-Dhuhaa should be performed after the sun has risen quiet high. Because the Fuqahaa and Muhadditheen are of the opinion that the commencement of the time of Salat al-Dhuhaa is the same as that of Ishraaq (i.e. immediately after sunrise), the Ulama have stated that 'if due to lack of time, one performs the Salat of Ishraaq and Dhuhaa together at one time, that too will be correct.' (Our Namaas pg.44)

Rasulullah is reported to have said, 'Whoever offers 2 Rakaats of Salat al-Dhuhaa, all his sins will be forgiven even though they are as much as the foam of the sea.' (Ibid)

It is reported that Sayyidna Aaisha (Radhiallaahu Anha) used to perform 8 Rakaats of Salat al-Dhuhaa. She said that even if her parents arose from the grave, she would not leave Salat al-Dhuhaa to go and meet them. (Ibid).

'Salat al-Dhuhaa consists of 2 - 12 Rakaats and it is preferable to perform 8 Rakaats.' (Raddul Mukhtaar vol.1 pg.505)


The Prophet (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) is reported to have said that Whoever prayed twelve rakaats at the time of Chasht, then Allah will, as reward, prepare a palace of gold for him in Paradise. [Mishkat, Tirmizi, Ibn Majah]

brother,i don't have exact information but those nafal are called chast nafal according to my mum hazrat Ayesha(R.A)used to say that she would not miss these prayers even if both her parents were alive and in old age.:hijabi:

hope this helps a lil.

Chast Salah is performed between the full rising of the sun until the Shariah time of midday. It is a Nafl prayer which holds special superiority. It is up to the individual how many Rak’ats of this to read; he can read between two and twelve Rak’ats with the recitation of any Surah.:hijabi:

Hadhrat Ali (Radhiallaahu Anhu) is reported to have said, ‘In the morning when the sun rises to the height of that the same as it is at the time of Asr, the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) used to perform 2 Rakaats (Salaatul Ishraaq). When the sun rose in the east to the height where it is in the west at the time of Dhuhr Salaat, he performed 4 Rakaats (Salaat al-Dhuhaa, Chast).’ (Shamaail Tirmidhi, Hadith No.271)

and i found this too.:hijabi:

The Mustahabb (preferred) time of performing Salat al-Dhuhaa is after 1/4 of the day has passed.

It's time also begins when the sun has risen to a spears length (15-20 after sunrise) above the horizon, and it ends at zenith(at zawwal), although the preferred time to offer this prayer is at mid-morning (i.e. midway between sunrise and zenith).

Its minimum is two rakats, and its maximum is twelve rakats. Its time is from after sunrise to when the sun is at its zenith (zawal) (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya, 1/112)

It is preferable to perform 8 Rakaats.' (Raddul Mukhtaar vol.1 pg.505)

Abu Hurayra related that Muhammad said, "Whoever adheres to the Duha prayer shall have his sins forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea." [Tirmidhi, 438]

Abu Hurayra said, "My Dear One enjoined me with three: to sleep having performed the witr prayer; to fast three days every month; and the two rakats of Duha." [Nasa'i, 1659]

Mu`adha said that she asked `A'isha, "How many rakats did the Messenger of Allah pray for the Duha prayer?" She replied, "Four rakats, and he would add what he wanted." [Muslim 1175, Ahmad 23317, Ibn Maja 1371]

Sayyidna Ana, reports that Rasulullah said, 'Whoever performs 12 Rakaats of Salat al-Dhuhaa, Allah Ta' ala will build for him a castle of gold in Jannah.' [Mishkaat pg.116]
