  • It has come to my knowledge that some people observe certain nawafil Salah by reciting any specific surah a certain number of times (that is more than once) in each raka’ah after reading Surah Fatiha. Sometimes they make an extra sajdah after reading tashahhud and durood and there, they ask for any specific du’a they are in need for. They even call this Salah as Hajat. However I have not come across any kind of this Salah in the Hadith.
