حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ تُدِيمُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهَا سَاعَةٌ تُفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَرْتَفِعَ لِي فِيهَا عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that at the time of decline (zawal), the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) would always perform four rak'ahs. One day I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is this prayer that I see you consistently performing?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "At the time of decline, the gates of the heavens are opened and are not closed until the Zuhr prayer is performed. Therefore, I wish that a good deed of mine ascends to the heavens at that time."
