The Excellence of the Duha prayer,

saima abdullah

my life iz 4 Allah
The Excellence of the Duha prayer, clarification of its minimum, maximum and middle size, and the encouragement to persevere in doing it
1139. Abu Hurayra said, "My friend, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered me to do three things: to fast three days every month, to do the two rak'ats of Duha and to do the witr before sleeping." [Agreed upon]
1140. Abu Dharr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Sadaqa is owed by every joint you have. Every glorification is sadaqa. Every praise is sadaqa. Commanding the right is sadaqa. Forbidding the wrong is sadaqa. Praying two rak'ats in the forenoon (Duha) covers all these." [Muslim] 1141. 'A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray four rak'ats for Duha and would do any number more that Allah wished." [Muslim] 1142. Umm Hani' Fakhita bint Abi Talib said, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the year of the Conquest of Makka and found him washing. When he finished washing, he prayed eight rak'ats. That was in the time of Duha." [Agreed upon]
Permission to pray Duha from the time the sun is high until noon. It is best to pray it when it is very hot and well into mid-morning
1143. Zayd ibn Arqam said that he saw some people praying at the beginning of the time of Duha. He said, "Do they not know that the prayer at a later time is better? The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The prayer of the repenters is when the young camels have become hot from the sun.'" [Muslim]
