Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Masruq narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey. He camped during the last part of the night, and due to the overpowering effect of sleep, he dozed off so much that the rays of the sun woke him up. He ordered the muezzin to give the call to prayer; the muezzin gave the adhan, then the iqamah, and the Prophet led the prayer. Hazrat Masruq says that the sunrise prayer of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was so beloved to us that all the things of the world seemed insignificant in comparison to it.
