[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform four units of prayer at the time of mid-afternoon. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what are these prayers that I see you consistently perform?" He replied, "Indeed, the gates of heaven are opened at the time of mid-afternoon, so do not miss them until Dhuhr (noon) prayer is performed. I love for it to be my ascension towards goodness." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, do you recite anything specific in these prayers?" He said, "Yes." I then asked, "Do you send prayers upon the Prophet in them?" He replied, "No."
