Sunan Abu Dawud 558 — What Has Been Narrated Regarding The Rewards
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا إِلَى صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْحَاجِّ الْمُحْرِمِ ، وَمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى تَسْبِيحِ الضُّحَى لَا يَنْصِبُهُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ ، وَصَلَاةٌ عَلَى أَثَرِ صَلَاةٍ لَا لَغْوَ بَيْنَهُمَا كِتَابٌ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ " .
Narrated Abu Umamah: 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.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
558. Commentary:
➊ It is preferable to perform voluntary prayers (nawafil) at home, though it is also permissible in the mosque. In fact, the wording of the hadith does not explicitly mention going to the mosque for the Duha prayer; rather, it simply refers to getting up or going for prayer.
➋ «عليين» is the name of the register in which the deeds of the righteous (abrar) are recorded.
