Fasting, The Dhuha Prayer, And The Witr Prayer

 عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ أَوْصَانِي حَبِيبِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثٍ لَنْ أَدَعَهُنَّ مَا عِشْتُ بِصِيَامِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى وَبِأَنْ لَا أَنَامَ حَتَّى أُوتِرَ

Narrated Abu Darda':

“My beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) instructed me in three (acts), and I would never abandon them for as long as I live: Three days of fasting every month, the dhuha (forenoon) prayer, and that I should not sleep till I have observed the witr prayer.”

2. He enjoined upon us three acts:

a. Three days of voluntary fasting every month

b. Performing the dhuha (forenoon) prayer every day

c. Performing the witr prayer before going to bed every night

Let's try our best to carry out all three recommended acts.
