Salaat al-Duha or Salaat al-Awwaabeen

Tafsir of Surah Ad-Duha 93.1 Narrated by Ibn Abi Laila: "Only Umm Hani told us that she has seen the Prophet (saw) offering the Duha (Forenoon prayer) She said, 'On the day of conquest of Mecca, the Prophet (saw) took a bath in my house and offered eight raka'at. I never saw him praying such a light prayer but he performed perfect prostrations and bowings'" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.2, Hadith No. 207A)

Narrated Abu Huraira: "My friend (the Prophet saw) advised me to observe three things: 1) to fast 3 days a month; 2) to pray two raka'at of duha (forenoon prayer); and 3) to pray witr before sleeping. (Sahih al-Bukhari Vol.3, Hadith No.202)

"From Zayd ibn Arqam who said: ‘The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went out to the people of Qubaa’ and found them praying. He said: "Salaat al-Awwaabeen is when the young camels lift up their feet (because of the heat of the sand)."’" (Reported by Muslim, 1238).

According to a report narrated by Imaam Ahmad from Zayd ibn Arqam, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to or entered the mosque at Qubaa’ after the sun had risen, and found the people there praying. He said: "Salaat al-Duhaa should be prayed when the young camels lift up their feet (because of the heat of the sand)."

According to a report narrated by Muslim from al-Qaasim al-Shaybaani, Zayd ibn Arqam saw some people praying Duhaa and said: "Do they not know that praying at some other time than this is better? The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Salaat al-Awwaabeen is when the young camels lift up their feet (because of the heat of the sand).’" (Saheeh Muslim, 1237).

Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "The phrase ‘Salaat al-Awwaabeen is when the young camels lift up their feet (because of the heat of the sand)’ refers to when the sand becomes unbearably hot from the sun’s heat, and burns the soles of the young camels’ feet, so they alternately raise and lower their feet in response to the heat of the sand. ‘Al-Awwaab’ means one who is obedient, or one who turns to obedience. The hadeeth also refers to the best time to offer this prayer, although it is permissible to pray it any time after the sun has risen and before it reaches its zenith." (Sharh Muslim li‘l-Nawawi). And Allaah knows best.
