It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two rak'ahs before (the obligatory prayer of) Fajr and kept them both so short that I would think that perhaps he (peace and blessings be upon him) had recited nothing in them except Surah al-Fatihah, or (because of their extreme brevity the thought would occur) whether he (peace and blessings be upon him) had even recited Surah al-Fatihah or not."
