It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That I attend the Fajr prayer, then sit remembering Allah until the sun rises, is dearer to me than mounting (fighters) on fine thoroughbred horses in the path of Allah."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Hazim except Hammad bin Abi Humayd, and he is Muhammad bin Abi Humayd; the people of Madinah call him Hammad bin Abi Humayd."
