It is narrated from a man of Banu Darim that Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) married one of our women and stayed among us. A man of the settlement arranged a meal and invited the people of the settlement, and he invited Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. The narrator said: I saw that Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) did not accept the invitation (straight away), and he was making some sign to a servant (mawla) of his. When Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) left from there, I set off to ask his servant the reason for this delay and the sign. On the way I met Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) himself. I greeted him with salam, and he returned it, welcomed me and asked: "O so-and-so! What brings you? Do you need something?" I said: O son of the Messenger of Allah! I came to ask your servant about the delay that kept you from the invitation and about the sign you were making. Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will tell you myself. As for the cause of the delay, I was fasting; and as for what I was signalling about, I was asking him whether the sun had risen or not." Then Sayyiduna al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated the hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever offers the dawn prayer and then remains occupied in the remembrance of Allah Almighty until the sun rises, this deed will become a screen or barrier for him from the Fire."
A hadith (no. 23) will come in the chapter of Salat al-Duha (the forenoon prayer), Allah willing. Musnad Musaddad: 543. Its chain contains Hafs bin Sulayman al-Qari, who is da'if (weak), and the narrator from Banu Darim is unnamed; however, the virtue of remembering Allah after Fajr until sunrise is established by other reliable reports.
