The questioner:
You say that Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Whoever recites eleven times, he has earned the great pleasure of Allah. Is this hadith weak or not?
The Shaykh:
This hadith is invalid.
The presenter:
Yes, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
The Duha prayer is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah), but not in this specific form. Its minimum is two rak'ahs, and its maximum is eight rak'ahs. Every two rak'ahs are concluded with a taslim, and in them one recites al-Fatihah and whatever is easy for him of the Qur'an thereafter. He bows and says, “Subhan Rabbi al-Azim” (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great), and he repeats this as much as is easy for him. Then he prostrates, and then he says, “Sami' Allahu li man hamidah” (Allah hears the one who praises Him), and he stands up firmly and settles, and says, “Allahumma Rabbana wa laka al-hamd, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fihi” (O Allah, our Lord, to You belongs all praise, much good and blessed praise), until the end of what has been transmitted. Then he prostrates and says, “Subhan Rabbi al-A'la” (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High), and he repeats this as much as is easy for him. He makes du'a' in his prostration, and he also makes du'a' in his bowing after he has said the obligatory tasbih. He makes du'a' and increases his du'a' in the prostration in the Duha prayer and in other prayers. Yes.
