EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah states that the Prophet Muhammad commanded him to pray two Rakahs of Duha prayer, not to sleep until he has prayed witr prayer and also fast three days each month. The duha prayer is a voluntary prayer which can be performed any time after sunrise up until just before noon. It consists of two rakats or units of prayers. The witr prayer is an odd number of rakats which are usually performed at night after the Isha or night prayers. Lastly, fasting for three days each month is a voluntary act that Muslims can do in order to gain rewards from Allah Almighty. This hadith teaches us about the importance of performing voluntary acts such as praying duha and witr as well as fasting for three days each month in order to gain rewards from Allah Almighty. It also encourages us to be consistent with our religious practices so that we may become closer with Allah Almighty through them.
