Even if once a year is not possible, then at least once in a life time. You can pray the Tasbeeh prayer at any time of the day or night, except for the time limit. Prophet Muhammad SAW performed the Nafal prayer every day after explaining the way of Salatul Tasbeeh.

Benefits of Salat Tasbeeh

Praying Salatul Tasbeeh wipes out all our sins, minor and major. We, humans, do sins repeatedly, but we have Salatul Tasbeeh to ask forgiveness from Allah again and again. Furthermore, offering Salat Tasbeeh builds a strong connection between the offerer and Allah.

Things To Be Kept In Mind:

Do not keep track of the Tasbih loudly. It is recommended to count by gently pressing the fingers as a reminder. If a count is missed in one posture, make up for it in the next posture. For example, if forgot to read the ones in the ruku, make it up in the Qayam position by reciting 20 times.Try to keep your mind focused or else this prayer can become really tricky if you keep forgetting how many you have read.

What If I Am Not Satisfied With The Authenticity Of This

This salah is a voluntary act of worship, numerous reports have deemed this as authentic. So labeling it as a Biddah (innovation) is wrong as major scholars like Imam at-Tirmidhi have quoted this. Those who do act upon it should not look down upon those who are not doing this, for they are trying to remain on the safe side of things. And those who are not following this act of worship should not look down upon those who are as if they are committing a sin.

May Allah SWT keep us on the straight path.
