Rasulullah ﷺ then taught
him the Salah al-Tasbih. Furthermore he
advised him that it be offered daily, if
possible. If not then every Friday or once a
month or once a year or at least once in
one's life time. - (Abu Dawood)

be performed everyday. Makruh times
should be avoided for this salah. The Tasbih

Greatest)
