Chapter on the recommendation of performing voluntary prayers in the home, whether the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) or others, and the command to move from the place of the obligatory prayer to perform the voluntary prayer, or to separate them with speech.

The reciter: "And it was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who said:

Observe some of your prayers in your houses and do not make them graves.

اجعلوا من صلاتكم في بيوتكم، ولا تتخذوها قبوراً

Sahih Muslim 777a

Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
And from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

When one of you has completed his prayer in the mosque, let him make a share of his prayer for his home, for Allah will place good in his home from his prayer.

إذا قضى أحدكم صلاته في المسجد فليجعل لبيته نصيبًا مِن صلاته، فإن الله جاعل في بيته من صلاته خيراً

Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2:835

Narrated by Muslim “ .

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
When the author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) attached to the obligatory prayers, he clarified in this chapter that it is better for a person to pray in his home, and he mentioned several hadiths regarding this, among them:
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: : So he commanded that prayer be performed in homes.
: This indicates that a person should perform all his voluntary prayers in his home, whether the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib), the Dhuha prayer, the Tahajjud prayer, or anything else. Even in Makkah and Madinah, it is better for the voluntary prayers to be in the home, better than in the mosque, whether in the Sacred Mosque or the Prophet's Mosque. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said this while he was in Madinah, and prayer in his mosque is better than a thousand prayers, except for the Sacred Mosque.
Many people today prefer to perform voluntary prayers in the Sacred Mosque rather than in their homes, and this is a type of ignorance. For example, if you are in Makkah and the call to prayer for Fajr is made, and a questioner asks you: Is it better to perform the regular voluntary prayer (rawatib) in the home or go to the Sacred Mosque? We say: It is better in the home. Is the Dhuha prayer better in the Sacred Mosque or in the home? We say: In the home. Is Tahajjud better in the Sacred Mosque or in the home? We say: In the home, and so on, except for the obligatory prayers. The obligatory prayers must be in the mosques. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in these hadiths, in the last hadith: Among this good is that your family, when they see you praying, will follow your example, become accustomed to prayer, and love it, especially the young ones among them. Another aspect is that prayer in the home is further from showing off (riya'), for a person in the mosque is seen by people, and perhaps something of showing off may enter his heart. But in the home, it is closer to sincerity and further from showing off.
Another aspect is that when a person prays in his home, he finds comfort there, a comfort of the heart and tranquility, and this undoubtedly increases the faith of the servant.
So the important point is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to pray in our homes, except for the obligatory prayers. Also, standing in prayer during Ramadan (Qiyam Ramadan) is an exception from the voluntary prayers in this regard, for it is better for Qiyam Ramadan to be in congregation in the mosques, even though it is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. However, the Sunnah indicates that Qiyam Ramadan in the mosque is better. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed with his Companions for three nights, or two nights, then he stayed away and said: , and success is from Allah.
