==The Meaning of Ghufayla==
==The Meaning of Ghufayla==
The word, "ghufayla" ({{ia|غُفَیلَة}}), is the diminutive (musaghghar) noun form derived from "ghafla" ({{ia|غَفلَة}}) meaning a small neglect. According to a hadith from [[the Prophet Muhammad (s)]], the time between maghrib and isha' prayers is the time of neglecting God, and this is why the Ghufayla prayer, which is said in this time, is called "ghufayla". [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] taught the best manner of saying this recommended prayer to [[Hisham b. Salim]], which is cited in ''[[Mafatih al-jinan]]''.

Some [[Shiite]] scholars of [[fiqh]] (jurisprudence) hold that the well-known Ghufayla prayer is not independent from the [[nafila]] of the maghrib prayer, and so it can be intended as the two [[rak'as]] of its nafila.

The verse recited after Sura al-Hamd in the first rak'a of this prayer is known as the [[Yunusiyya dhikr]] (recitation of Jonah), because this is the supplication recited by the prophet [[Yunus (a)]] (Jonah) when he was swallowed by a great fish and asked [[God]] to help him out. The verse recited in the second rak'a of the prayer is concerned with the secrets of the unseen and the divine omniscience and omnipotence and the scope of God's power and rule.
