قال أبى - رضي الله عنه - في رسالته إلي: اعلم يا بنى إن أفضل النوافل ركعتا الفجر، وبعدهما ركعة الوتر، وبعدها ركعتا الزال، وبعدهما نوافل المغرب، وبعدها تمام صلاة الليل، وبعدها تمام نوافل النهار.

My father, may Allah (swt) be pleased with him, mentioned in his letter to me: 'Know, my son, that the best of the supererogatory (nafl) prayers are the two Rak'ahs of Fajr, followed by the single Rak'ah of Witr, then the two Rak'ahs of Dhuha (mid-morning prayer), then the supererogatory prayers after Maghrib, then the completion of the Night Prayer, and finally, the completion of the daytime supererogatory prayers.'
