The Reward of Performing Sunnah Prayers

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) promised that whoever performs twelve Rakah of Sunnah prayer each day will be rewarded with a house in Paradise.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever performs twelve Rak’ah (of Sunnah) each day, a house will be built for him in Paradise: two Rak’ah before Fajr, two Rak’ah before the Zuhr, two Rak’ah after the Zuhr, two Rak’ah, I think he said, before 'Asr, two Rak’ah after Maghrib, and I think he said two Rak’ah after the 'Isha’.’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الأَصْبَهَانِيِّ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَلَّى فِي يَوْمٍ ثِنْتَىْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً بُنِيَ لَهُ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ - أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ - قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ - أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ - وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ الآخِرَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the reward for performing sunnah prayers. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that whoever performs twelve Rakah of sunnah prayer each day will be rewarded with a house in paradise. A rakah is one unit of prayer and consists of standing, bowing, prostrating and sitting. There are five obligatory prayers throughout the day which are Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. In addition to these five obligatory prayers there are also voluntary or sunnah prayers which can be performed before or after the obligatory ones. These voluntary prayers can increase our rewards from Allah SWT if we perform them regularly and sincerely with an intention to please Allah SWT alone. This hadith encourages us to perform these extra voluntary prayers as they can bring us closer to Allah SWT and increase our rewards in the hereafter.
