Salatul Tasbih
This namaaz is offered in four rakat at a time and can be read in any part of the day and night, keeping in mind the forbidden times for reading Nafil namaaz. The reader of this namaaz is credited with innumerable blessings and benefits, reewards and forgiveness. The Prophet (SAWS), while teaching this namaaz to his uncle Hzrat Abbas (RA) has said, "If it possible then read it every day; if not, then every week; once in every month; once in every year; if it is still not possible, DO READ IT ONCE in a life time.
