The Value of Supererogatory Prayers

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) valued two supererogatory rak'ahs of the dawn prayer more than the entire world.

'A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah said about the two (supererogatory) rak'ahs of the dawn: They are dearer to me than the whole world.
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي شَأْنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ ‏ "‏ لَهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا جَمِيعًا
