Offering the Duhâ prayer every day

Image result for muslimah solat

Question

What is the difference between the Duhâ prayer, the Awwâbîn prayer, and the Ishrâq prayer? Also, I read that it is not Sunnah to offer the Duhâ prayer every day, since `Umar once called it an innovation, and meant by it that it is an innovation to offer the Duhâ prayer every day, since the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not offer it every day. Is this true?

Answer

The terms ishrâq and awwâbîn are used to refer to the Duhâ prayer. 

There is no separate prayer called al-Ishrâq. The word ishrâq simply means “sunrise” and the meaning of this prayer is the same as the Duhâ prayer. The Duhâ prayer starts approximately fifteen minuets after sunrise and lasts up to the time the sun reaches its zenith. It is preferred to be performed when the day becomes warmer. 

The prayer of the awwâbîn (the very penitent) is the Duhâ prayer, as demonstrated in Sahîh Muslim (748) where Zayd b. relates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ‘The prayer of the very penitent (al-awwâbîn) is offered at the time when the young camels feel the heat.” 

This hadîth indicates that the prayer should preferably be offered later in the morning when it gets hot. 

The Duhâ prayer is certainly a Sunnah. It is true that the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not pray it every day. However, he advised his Companions to pray it. 

Abû Hurayrah said: “The dearest person to me (the Prophet, peace be upon him) advised me to do three things, and I will not leave them until I die: to fasting three days of each month, to offer the Duhâ prayer, and not to sleep until after I pray Witr.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (1178) and Sahîh Muslim (721)] 

Abû Dharr reports that Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “In the morning, charity is due from every bone in the body of every one of you. Every utterance of Allah's glorification is an act of charity. Every utterance of His praise is an act of charity. Every utterance of profession of His Oneness is an act of charity. Every utterance of a profession of His Greatness is an act of charity. Enjoining good is an act of charity. Forbidding wrong is an act of charity, and two units of prayer which one offers in the forenoon will suffice.” [Sahîh Muslim (720)] 

Since these hadîth are authentic, it is a Sunnah to pray the Duhâ prayer on any day and every day, regardless if someone has opined that it is not Sunnah to do so every day. 

And Allah knows best.
