Hadith on Sunnah: Twelve raka’at of al-Sunan al-Rawatib prayers

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever perseveres in performing twelve cycles of prayer from the Sunnah, Allah will build a house for him in Paradise. They are four cycles before noon prayer and two after it, two cycles after sunset prayer, two cycles after evening prayer, and two cycles before dawn prayer.
