Did Rasoolullah s.a.w.s. ever pray 4 Rakaats together with a single Salaam outside of Fardh Salaat? Kindly quote any Hadiths that mentions this.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

From my understanding he used to always pray in increments of 2 Rakaat whenever he offered any Nafl or Sunnah Salaat. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Answer

Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) would perform nafl salah at times in increments of two rakaat, sometimes 4 rakaat, sometimes six and sometimes eight.

The ahadith showing them are present in most books of hadith. We will give a reference for each:

4 Rakaat: Sahih Bukhari (No.3376)

6 Rakaat and 8 : Sharhu Ma’anil Aathaar of Tahawi Vol.1 Pg.364(Ilmiyyah), Sunanul Kubra of Nasai (No.1414),

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
