Narrated Umm Habibah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If anyone keeps on praying regularly four rak'ahs before and four after the noon prayer, he will not enter the Hell-fire. Abu Dawud said: Al-'Ala bin Al-Harith and Sulaiman bin Musa reported it from Makhul with his chain, similarly.
Narrated Abu Ayyub: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The gates of heaven are opened for four rak'ahs containing no taslim (salutation) before the noon prayer. Abu Dawud said: Yahya bin Saeed al-Qattan said: If I were to narrate any tradition from Ubaidah, I would narrate this tradition. Abu Dawud said: Ubaidah is weak.
