Summary
The hadith from Anas bin Malik about a golden palace for praying twelve rak'ahs of Dhuha has been graded differently by scholars, as gharib, weak or authentic. The preferred view is that it is weak in itself but can rise to hasan because other narrations support it, such as those of Abu Dharr and Abu Darda'. Dhuha is a highly encouraged prayer, and two rak'ahs alone suffice as charity for the joints of the body according to the hadith of Abu Dharr. The ruling also notes that a deed done continuously, even if small, is most beloved to Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Di sini kami nyatakan bahawa kami lebih cenderung untuk mengatakan bahawa hadith ini adalah dhaif, akan tetapi ia boleh terangkat ke tahap hasan apabila ia disokong oleh beberapa riwayat lain.
