Narrated Narrated Rabi'ah bin Ka'b al-Aslami (RA):
The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Ask." I said, "I ask your company in Paradise." He replied, "Or something else?" I said, "That is it (i.e. that is what I desire)." He said, "Then help me to achieve this for you by devoting yourself often to prostration."
I memorized from the Prophet (ﷺ) ten (voluntary) Rak'at - two Rak'at before the Zuhr prayer and two after it; two Rak'at after Maghrib prayer in his house, and two Rak'at after 'Isha' prayer in his house, and two Rak'at before the Fajr prayer.
وَعَنْ اَلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ -رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا- { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -بَعَثَ عَلِيًّا إِلَى اَلْيَمَنِ - فَذَكَرَ اَلْحَدِيثَ - قَالَ : فَكَتَبَ عَلِيٌّ - رضى الله عنه - بِإِسْلَامِهِمْ , فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -اَلْكِتَابَ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا } رَوَاهُ اَلْبَيْهَقِيُّ . 11 - صحيح . انظر ما قبله . رواه البيهقي ( 2 / 369 ) وقال : " أخرج البخاري صدر هذا الحديث ... فلم يسقه بتمامه ، وسجود الشكر في تمام الحديث صحيح على شرطه " .
