This Salat was highly recommended to Imam J’afar Al Sadiq [A.S.] by his father Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir [A.S.] as carrying great reward.
A person who recites this prayer will share the "thawab" (reward) of those who have gone for Hajj.
This Salat consists of 2 rakats, to be recited between Maghrib and Isha salat of the first 10 nights of Dhul Hijjah i.e. from 1st Dhul Hijjah to 10th Dhul Hijjah.
Niyyah: “I am offering 2 rakat Salat of ten nights of Dhul Hijjah, Qurbatan Ilallah.”
In every rakat, recite Sura al-Fatihah and Sura al-Ikhlaas followed by this ayah once: (Sura Al A’araf 7:142)
وَوَاعَدْنَا مُوسَى ثَلاَثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَاهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيقَاتُ رَبِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً وَقَالَ مُوسَى لأَخِيهِ هَارُونَ اخْلُفْنِي فِي قَوْمِي وَأَصْلِحْ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

"And We appointed for Musa thirty nights, and completed (the period) with ten more; thus he completed the whole time appointed by his Lord of forty nights. And Musa said to his brother Harun: Take my place (Act for me) among the people. Do right, and do not follow the way of those who do mischief.”
Complete the prayer with Tashahud and Salaam.
