Sunnah of the Zhuhr Prayer (Noon Prayer)

Question:

What is the sunnah before and after Zhuhr (Noon Prayer)?

Answer:

In the name of Allah, we praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.

Ibn `Umar reported: I performed along with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) two rak`ahs of optional prayers before Dhuhr and two after the Dhuhr (noon prayer), and two after the Friday prayer, and two after the Maghrib (evening) prayer, and two after the `Isha’ (night) prayer.” (Al-Bukhari)

In another hadith, `A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (peace be upon him) never neglected offering four rak`ahs prayer before the Zhuhr and two rak`ahs prayers before dawn (Fajr) prayer. (Al- Bukhari)
