    Awwabin is an important salah proved by reliable sources, it has many virtues mentioned in Hadith. Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (رضی اللہ عنہ) narrated that the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) stated: ?One who performs 6 rak?ah after Maghrib without uttering any bad thing in between, it will be equal to the worship of 12 years.? While, another tradition says: ?One who performs 20 rak?ah after Maghrib, Allah will build a house for him in Paradise.? (Tirmizi 1:98)
