Is there a prayer called "Salat al-Ghaflah" (the Prayer of Negligence) in Islam?
Many jurists have recommended praying between Maghrib and Isha, and this prayer is called "Salat al-Ghaflah" (Prayer of Negligence) or "Salat al-Awwabin" (Prayer of the Oft-Returning), because it is a time when people are neglectful of prayer. There are hadiths and narrations that indicate its virtue, such as the hadith: "Whoever prays six rak'ahs between Maghrib and Isha, it will be recorded for him as the worship of twelve years." It has also been mentioned as twenty rak'ahs, although these hadiths related to a specific number of rak'ahs are not authentic or are very weak. However, praying between Maghrib and Isha is generally desirable, and it has been narrated that the Companions did so, as in the hadith of Hudhayfah that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed between Maghrib and Isha.
