Hadith 419
419 صحيح حديث حَفْصَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ، إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ لِلصُّبْحِ، وَبَدَا الصُّبْحُ، صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُقَامَ الصَّلاَةُ
Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that it was the habit of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that when the muezzin had given the call to prayer after the true dawn had appeared, he would perform two light rak‘ahs between the adhan and the iqamah before the prayer was established (these were the Sunnah of Fajr, which he would always perform whether traveling or at home).

Hadith 421
421 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُخَفِّفُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ، حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَقُولُ هَلْ قَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to keep the two (Sunnah) rak'ahs before the (obligatory) Fajr prayer very short. Whether he recited Surah Al-Fatihah in them or not, I cannot say.
Hadith 422
422 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمْ يَكُنِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ النَّوَافِلِ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُ تَعَاهُدًا عَلَى رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was not more regular in offering any voluntary prayer than the two rak'ahs before Fajr.
