Repeat each Sooralt three times, after the Fajr and Maghrib prayers. After all other obligatory prayers repeat them only once."

10. To Recite Aayah Al-Kursee:

Some of the benefits of observing and preserving these Sunan after every obligatory prayer:

Co If a Muslim preserves these supplications after every obligatory prayer then five hundred Sadagaat are written for him. from the saying of the Prophet (48):

Every Tasbeeh is Sadagah, every Takbeer |5 Sadagah, every Tahmeed is Sadagah and every Taheel is Sadagah.**'

Imaam An-Nawawee said a person gains

the reward as if he has paid this amou in charity.

' The narrations that mention to supplicate in the place of prayer, refer to after Salaah Al-Fajr and Al-Asr only, and are therefore not applicable other prayers. Readers should note that narration was found to support this point.

Q Five hundred trees will be planted for the Muslim who preserves these supplication after every prayer during the day and night:

The Messenger of Allah (3%) passed by Aboo Hurayrah () while he was planting something and said:

‘O Aboo Hurayrali, shall I not show you a planting better than this?’

He said:‘Of course, O Messenger of Allah.’

He () said: ‘say:...

-.subhaan allaal, al-hamdu lillaah, laa

ilgaha illallaah, allaahu akbar...

and a tree will be planted for you in

Paradise for every one you say’.!?

0 For the one who preserves the reading of Aayah Al-Kursee after every Salaah, there is nothing between him and entering Paradise, except death.’**

O Whoever preserves these praises will have his sins removed, even if they were

as abundant as the foam on the sea.!*

The one who preserves these praises after every prayer, will not be afflicted with failure or disgrace, in this world or the Hereafter:

C It compensates for the lacking and

deficiency in one’s performance of the obligatory prayers."
