Narration on Two Rak’ahs of Fajr and Conversation
Hadith 175
175 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مُسْتَيْقِظَةً حَدَّثَنِي، وَإِلَّا اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّي يَقُومَ إِلَي الصَّلَاةِ»
Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform two rak'ahs of Fajr (i.e., the Sunnah prayers). If I was awake, he would converse with me, otherwise, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would lie down until he went to perform the (congregational) Fajr prayer.
