Question:

What is the status of the following Hadeeth: "Whoever prays twelve Rak‘ahs of supererogatory prayers a day, Allaah will build a house for him in paradise."? Please provide me with its reference, may Allaah reward you.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger.

This Hadeeth is authentic and was narrated by Imaam Muslim on the authority of 'Umm Habeebah .

Allaah Knows best.
