Question<\/h3>\n

I wanted to know the origin and significance of the prayer called Sal\u0101t al-Tasb\u012bh.<\/p>\n

Answer<\/h3>\n

Sal\u0101t al-Tasb\u012bh, it should be appreciated, is not a practice initiated by the Holy Prophet (sws) in the Ummah as a Sunnah. Consequently, we see that it has only been mentioned in some individual reports. Moreover, most famous and widely acknowledged books of H~ad\u012bth like Bukh\u0101r\u012b and Muslim and some others do not contain this report. <\/p>\n

Thus we cannot be sure of the reliably of these reports beyond any doubt. The importance of the prayer (regarding the stress it received) can obviously be ascertained by the fact that it is only mentioned in some individual reports (these reports mostly rely on two basic chain of reporters) of relatively less reliable works of Had\u012bth. <\/div>\n
According to these narratives whoever offers Sal\u0101t al-Tasb\u012bh, his previous sins will be forgiven. The Holy Prophet (sws) is reported to have said to Abb\u0101s, his uncle, to offer it very often. He said that one must offer it once in a lifetime at least. However, this exhortation does not raise the importance of the prayer in religious obligations. Had the Holy Prophet (sws) intended to include it in the Sunnah he would not have confined this information to only some of the individuals rather he would have disseminated it among the entire generation.<\/div>\n
