The Excellence of Performing the Sunnah Prayers

546. Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, 

“The two units of the Fajr Prayer are better than this world and everything it contains.” In one variant, “I love them more than the entire world.” (Sahih Muslim, Salatu’l-Musafirin, 96).

550. Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,

“May Allah have mercy on any man who prays four units before Asr.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Tatawwu, 8; Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Salah, 201).

553. Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, 

“Do some of your Prayers in your houses and do not make them into graves.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Salah, 52, Tahajjud, 37; Sahih Muslim, Salatu’l-Musafirin, 208).
