English Translation
Abu Ayyub reported that he used to pray four rak'ahs before Dhuhr. He was asked about it, and he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) pray them. I asked him, and he said: 'It is a time when the gates of heaven are opened. I love that a good deed ascend for me during it.'"
