Ghufayla Prayer (Arabic: صلاة الغفیلة) is a famous Nafl Salah (supererogatory prayer) which consists of two Rakats that is done between Maghrib and Isha prayers as a Mustahab (recommended) prayer.^[1][2][3]

The word "ghufayla" is the diminutive noun of "ghaflah" (neglect)^[4][5][6] and it means small neglect. There are hadiths which mention this Salah as an efficient prayer in the requests of people from Allah being responded to and likewise person's sins being forgiven by Him.^[7]
