عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ! لَا تَعْجِزَنْ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ نَهَارِكَ أَكْفِكَ آخِرَهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, Allah the Exalted says: O son of Adam! Do not be incapable of offering four rak‘ahs at the beginning of the day; (if you perform this prayer) I will suffice you at the end of the day.
