narrated from Abu Umamah, that he Prophet ﷺ said: "Allah does not listen to anything more virtuous from the worshiper than the two Rak'ah of Salat he performs. And the righteousness spreads over the head of a worshiper as long as he remains in his Salat. And the worshipers shall not draw nearer to Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He, with similar to what came from Him." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2911)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا أُذِنَ لِعَبْدٍ فِي شَيْءٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُصَلِّيهِمَا إِنَّ الْبِرَّ لَيُذَرُّ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْعَبْدِ مَا دَامَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَمَا تَقَرَّبَ الْعِبَادُ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ بِمِثْلِ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ» قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ «يَعْنِي الْقُرْآنَ»
