When is the best time to pray?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Asalam o Alaikum. Dear Brother, can you tell me what is the best time for praying, I mean dua .. I heard that sajda is the best time, when Salah was orderd the companions of Prohphet Mohammad (saw) were happy saying we got a source through which we cas ask from Allah. And also I heard that *Harzat Mohammad (saw) very few times after praying made dua.. So can we have dua while praying salah during sajda…. Please give reference of Hadees or Quran Ayaa…

(Fatwa: 2329/1911=B/1429)

According to Hadith, there are many times when dua is accepted, for example after every obligatory salah, at the time of Tahajjud, between the time of Azan and Iqamah, when it starts raining, while in a journey, doing dua after praising Allah and reciting durood, doing dua in the sajdah of nafl salah. In the sajdah, one should recite only the duas which are narrated from the Prophet ((صلى الله عليه وسلم, it is not allowed to do dua in sajdah in Urdu language. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) used to pray after every obligatory salah:

أللهم أنت السلام ومنك السلام

You should study in the books of Ahadiht the chapter: باب ما يقول بعد السلام, you will find many traditions there. Also, there is a special chapter named ابواب الدعوات  containing a number of duas.
