 Another narration by Hazrat Sayedna Abu Huraira Radi Allahu Anhu: Whoever read 4 Rikaats Nafals in this way:

After Surah Al-Fatiha read 50 times Surah Ikhlaas, then Allah will forgive person's 50 years of sins.

Read 2 rakats Nawafil . In each rakat after Surah Fateha recite Surah Ikhlas 3 times. The reward of this the ones grave will have noor (light) till the day of judgement inshAllah.

Perform 4 Nawafil, in each rakaat read Ayat-ul-Kursi x 3, Surah Ikhlas x 10. After Salaat, read Surah Ikhlas x 100. Allah will forgive person's sins and lot of bounties a person receives in paradise(Jannat).

Perform 4 Nawafil, in each rakaat read Surah Ikhlas x 5. A person will get lot of blessings from Allah Ta'ala.
