A house will be built in Paradise, for anyone who prays in a day and a night twelve rak'ahsمن صلى اثنتي عشرة ركعة في يومه وليلته بني له بهن بيت في الجنة

These twelve are the rawatib, and Allah knows best: two rak'ahs before the midday prayer, four rak'ahs before the midday prayer, four rak'ahs before the midday prayer, and two rak'ahs after it, two rak'ahs after the sunset prayer, two rak'ahs after the night prayer, and two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer.
