The Superiority of Praying The Voluntary Prayers In The House

Zaid bin Thabit (May Allah be pleased with him)reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O people! perform your (voluntary) Salat (prayers) in your homes because the best Salat of a man is the one he performs at home, except the obligatory Salat.”
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Ibn 'Umar reported Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:

Pray in your houses, and do not make them graves. [Sahih Muslim]

The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The voluntary prayer of a man (in a place) where no person can see him equal to twenty-five times his prayer where people can see him.”

Recorded by Musnad Aboo Yaâala, Hadeeth 3821.
**
The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The superiority of the prayer of a man in his house over his prayer (in a place) so that people can see him, is like the superiority of the obligatory prayer over the voluntary.”**

Saheeh At-Targeeb Wa At-Tarheeb, The Book Of Desiring to Pray The Voluntary Prayers in the House, Hadeeth 438.

jazaak Allah for the aHaadees.

my dad practiced it in his life. i remember he would say his sunna at home before leaving for masjid and pray his sunna at home after returning from the Masjid. it wasn't a hard and fast rule for him. he sometimes prayed in Masjid as well. since he used to lead prayers 5 times a day, my dad made sure not to be late and make the muqtadees wait for him. it never happened what i can remember.

i do the same thing when i go on vacation to India.
