Time for Salatul Chaast (also known as Doha Salaat): 9:00 to 11:30 but it varies according to season.
[When the sun has risen high and there is heat in its rays, the performance of 2,4,6,8 or 12 rakaats is called Namaaz-e-Chaast]
The Traditions says that the performance of 2 rakaats wipes away all ones sins. There are 360 joints in our body and to pay Sadaqah for each is Wajib (obligatory) The 2 rakaaats is enough to pay all the Sadakah. Performance of 4 rakaats places the performer's name among the Abids and is the Sunnat of Saliheen and promise the performer protection until the evening. The performer of 6 rakaats is relieved of his day's worries. Performance of 8 rakaats places his name among the Parhezgaars and the performer of 12 rakaats ensures a Golden Mansion for himself in Paradise. (Ref : Tirmizi, Ibne Majah, Ahmad).
Method:
Read 2 rakaats Nafil with the niyyat (intention) of Chaast. In the last sajdah (prostration) of the last rakaat, after Subhaana Rabbiyal Alaa read 41 times Ya Wahhabu. You will get relief from worries and tensions; miraculously you'll get extreme peace. When performed on thursday, after salaam, without talking to anyone read 500 times Ya Samiu with 11 times Darood Shareef before and after, then ask as many heartfelt duas, Inshah Allah! your duas will be accepted with merits. This has been tried with success.

Note:
All nafil salaat must be read in a cycle of two by two rakaat.
Niyyat: Nawaytu an Usalliya Lillaahi Ta'ala Rakaatayni Salaata Naflil Chaast Mutawajjihaanillah Jihaatil Kaabatish Sharifatee. Allahu Akbar
Please , If you are reading it normally (whether 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12), you don't need to recite the 41 times Ya Wahhabu as mentioned above but if you wanna do it , you can, but Ya Sami'u 500 times should only be recited on Thursday .
