Indeed the Hadith is as I reported it to you, but I did not say it one day, so Allah brought about His decree upon me.”

He will have ten good deeds recorded for him, ten evil deeds deducted from him, he will be advanced ten degrees, and will be guarded from the Devil till the evening. If he says them in the evening, he will have a similar recompense till the morning.
The version of Hammad says: A man saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a dream and said: Messenger of Allah! AbuAyyash is relating such and such on your authority.
He said: AbuAyyash has spoken the truth.

And whoever says Allahu Akbar 100 times, before the sun rises and before it sets, it is better for him that freein 100 slaves.
And whoever says,
لا إلهَ إلّا اللهُ وحدَه لا شريكَ له له الملكُ وله الحمدُوهو على كلِّ شيءٍ قديرٌ
100 times, before the sun rises and before it sets,
none shall bring on the day of Judgement, a better deed than what he brought, except one who said similar to what he said, or increased upon it.

Allahum-mastur ‘awrati, wa amin raw’ati wahfazni min bayni yadayya, wa min khalfi, wa ‘an yamini wa ‘an shimali, wa min fawqi, wa ‘audhu bika an ughtala min tahti (O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in this world and in the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in my religious and my worldly affairs. O Allah, conceal my faults, calm my fears, and protect me from before me and behind me, from my right and my left, and from above me, and I seek refuge in You from being taken unaware from beneath me).” Waki’ (one of the narrators, explaining) said: “Meaning Al-Khasf (disgrace).”

10 times, Allah will write for him 10 Hasanaat, and erase from him 10 Sayyiaat (sins), and it is like freeing 10 slaves, and Allah protects him from the Shaitan, and whoever says this in the evening, he will be rewarded similarly.

Virtue Of Salatul Ishraq

Abu Dharr reported Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:
In the morning charity is due from every bone in the body of every one of you. Every utterance of Allah’s glorification is an act of charity. Every utterance of praise of Him is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Oneness is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Greatness is an act of charity, enjoining good is an act of charity, forbidding what is distreputable is an act of charity, and two rak’ahs which one prays in the forenoon will suffice.
[Sahih Muslim 720] – (Graded Sahih)
Hadith 374:
Narrated Abu Buraydah:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: A human being has three hundred and sixty joints for each of which he must give alms. The people asked him: Who is capable of doing this ?

[Sahih Muslim 722] – (Graded Sahih)
Hadith 376:
Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a raiding party, they gained a great amount of booty, and they returned quickly.
A man said: O Messenger of Allah! We haven’t seen an army return as quickly as they returned and with such a great booty.
The Prophet ﷺ said: Should I not tell you about a quicker returning than them and a greater booty than that? It is- that a man performs Wudhu perfectly, then leaves for the Masjid, and prays in that the morning prayer (Fajr), then sits till he prays Duha, (such a person is like an army) that is quicker to return and greater with booty (rewards).
(Sahih Ibn Hibban 2527, Hasan, Sahih.)

Hadith 378:
Narrated AbuUmamah:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If anyone goes out from his house after performing ablution for saying the prescribed prayer in congregation (in the mosque), his reward will be like that of one who goes for hajj pilgrimage after wearing ihram (robe worn by the hajj pilgrims).
And he who goes out to say the mid-morning (duha) prayer, and takes the trouble for this purpose, will take the reward like that of a person who performs umrah. And a prayer followed by a prayer with no worldly talk during the gap between them will be recorded in Illiyyun.
[Sunan Abi Dawud 558]- (Graded Hasan)
Hadith 379:
Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said- None preserves the Salatud Duha except the Awwab. And he ﷺ said: And that is the Salatul Awwabeen (prayer of people who are obedient).
