The Prayer of Ishraq and the Prayer of Duha

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, and their greatness repels the fatal calamity there; it is called raising it by oath. Is there a chapter clarifying this, and has it been mentioned in the Sunnah now?

Answer:
No, there is no oath in it. This is among the common people, but it was reported that a charity is due for every soundness of a person, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
and two rak'ahs which one prays in the forenoon will suffice.ويجزئ عن ذلك ركعتان يركعهما من الضحى
Sahih Muslim 720
Two rak'ahs that he prays are called the Prayer of Duha. It is not called the Prayer of Oath; it is the Prayer of Duha. Its minimum is two rak'ahs and its maximum is eight rak'ahs. Yes.
