Anas bin Sirin reported: I asked Ibn 'Umar to tell me about the practice of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) in regard to two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer: Should I make lengthy recitation in them? He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe, the night prayer in pairs and then made the number odd by observing one rak'ah. I said: I am not asking you about it. He said: You are a bulky man, will you not show me the patience to narrate to you the hadith completely? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe the night prayer in pairs and then made the number odd by observing one rak'ah, and then he observed two rak'ahs before dawn quite close to the call for prayer (Khalaf said:" Did you see [yourself the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) observing] the two rak'ahs before the dawn?" and he made no mention of prayer.)

He got up to go accompanied by Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, Mu'adh bin Jabal, and I also went along with them. The child was lifted to him and his soul was feeling as restless as if it was in an old (water skin). His (Prophet's) eyes welled up with tears. Sa'd said: What is this, Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) He replied: This is compassion which Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants, and God shows compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate.
