Benefits of the Hadith: (… whoever prays twelve rak'ahs in a day and a night, a house will be built for him in Paradise for them …) and all its narrations.

The Shaykh : This is among the recommended practices that carry this great reward, where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said . The intended meaning is other than the obligatory prayer, and it is not fitting for the intended meaning to be the obligatory prayer, because the minimum for the obligatory prayer is how many? Seventeen rak'ahs, and this hadith mentions twelve rak'ahs. Accordingly, they are voluntary, as some of the wordings explicitly state. The apparent meaning of the hadith is that it is not a condition to maintain these rak'ahs consistently, and that if a person prays them on a single day, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise. This hadith does not specify what these rak'ahs are, but it has been clarified in another wording: four before the midday prayer, two after it, two after the sunset prayer, two after the night prayer, and two before the dawn prayer. Thus, the midday prayer is distinguished by half of this number, because four are before it and two are after it, making these six rak'ahs, and the rest are distributed among three prayers. Accordingly, a person should strive to maintain these prayers, just as Umm Habibah did, who was the first to narrate this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), followed by those who narrated it after her.
