Praying two rak‘ats before the dawn prayer was highly recommended and stressed by God’s Messenger. They are performed just as in the dawn prayer, except that one recites shorter Qur’anic passages after al-Fatiha.
Praying four rak‘ats before the zuhr (noon) prayer was highly advised and stressed by God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings. They are performed just as in the noon prayer, except that one recites Qur’anic passages after al-Fatiha in all rak‘ats. He also prayed another two or four rak‘ats after the prescribed prayer, and Muslims are urged to follow his example.
Praying four rak‘ats before the afternoon prayer is also recommended. They are performed just as in the noon prayer, except that one recites the calls of God’s blessings, peace, and gifts upon our master Muhammad and his Family after the tashahhud during the first sitting, and the supplication before al-Fatiha in the third rak‘at, which one recites while beginning the prayer after the opening takbir.
Praying two rak‘ats after the evening and late evening prayer is highly recommended, while praying four rak‘ats before the late evening prayer, just as in the afternoon prayer, is an unstressed sunna prayer.
