Hadith on Nawafil: Voluntary Sunan prayers throughout day

Ibn Umar reported: I prayed with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, two prostrations before and after noon prayer, two prostrations after sunset prayer, two prostrations after evening prayer, and two prostrations after Friday prayer. As for sunset and evening prayer, they were in his house.

عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ وَسَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَأَمَّا الْمَغْرِبُ وَالْعِشَاءُ فَفِي بَيْتِهِ
