The Salah that the Prophet ﷺ specially taught to his uncle was called Salat al-Tasbih. He taught it to his uncle Al-Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib.
The Prophet ﷺ said that this prayer is a great gift because it brings forgiveness of sins. In the hadith, he taught Al-Abbas a special prayer in which the phrase:
SubhanAllahi wal-hamdu lillahi wa la ilaha illAllahu wallahu akbar
is repeated many times during the Salah.
It is usually prayed as 4 rak‘ahs.
The hadith about Salat al-Tasbih is found in collections such as:
•Sunan Abi Dawud
•Jami at-Tirmidhi
