Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Zayd ibn Salim, says: A hadith was reported,Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2:850 What is the authenticity of this hadith, and who are the al-Awwabin?
Answer:
Al-Awwab is the one who hopes in Allah the Exalted, the one who repents to Allah.[Sad 38:30] This means that he turns back to Allah and repents to Allah the Exalted. The Duha prayer is a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform it, and he advised Abu Hurayrah to pray two rak'ahs of the Duha prayer every day. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 748a This means that when the heat of the sun begins to affect the earth, delaying the prayer until this time is better than praying it at the beginning of the day. It is a confirmed sunnah. Yes.
