Hadith 1167

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ الْعُكْلِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي خَثْعَمٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ ، أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ صَلَّى بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ بَيْنَهُنَّ بِسُوءٍ ، عُدِلْنَ لَهُ بِعِبَادَةِ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “Whoever prays six Rak’ah after the Maghrib and does not say anything bad in between them, will have a reward equal to the worship of twelve years.”

Benefits and Issues:
Some people refer to this prayer as Salat al-Awwabeen.
The correct view is that Salat al-Awwabeen is another name for the Duha prayer (Salat al-Duha).
As is stated in the Prophetic narration (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): (Salatu al-Awwabeena heena tarmadu al-fisal)
(Sahih Muslim, Salat al-Musafirin, Chapter: The Prayer of the Oft-Returning (Awwabeen) When the Hooves of the Young Camels are Scorched, Hadith: 748)
“The prayer of those who turn to Allah (Awwabeen) is at the time when the hooves of the young camels begin to burn (from the heat of the sand).”
Both of the aforementioned narrations are weak.
Therefore, both are not valid as proof.
The explanation of the Duha prayer (Salat al-Duha) is coming ahead.
