أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلانَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أَصْبِحُوا بِالصُّبْحِ ، فَإِنَّكُمْ كُلَمْا أَصْبَحْتُمْ بِالصُّبْحِ كَانَ أَعْظَمَ لأُجُورِكُمْ أَوْ لأَجْرِهَا " . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : أَمَرَ الْمُصْطَفَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالإِسْفَارِ لِصَلاةِ الصُّبْحِ ، لأَنَّ الْعِلَّةَ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ مُضْمَرَةٌ ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ كَانُوا يُغَلِّسُونَ بِصَلاةِ الصُّبْحِ ، وَاللَّيَالِي الْمُقْمِرَةُ إِذَا قَصَدَ الْمَرْءُ التَّغْلِيسَ بِصَلاةِ الْفَجْرِ صَبِيحَتَهَا رُبَّمَا كَانَ أَدَاءُ صَلاتِهِ بِاللَّيْلِ ، فَأَمَرَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِالإِسْفَارِ بِمِقْدَارِ مَا يَتَيَقَّنُ أَنَّ الْفَجْرَ قَدْ طَلَعَ ، وَقَالَ : " إِنَّكُمْ كُلَمْا أَصْبَحْتُمْ " يُرِيدُ بِهِ تَيَقَّنْتُمْ بِطُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ ، كَانَ أَعْظَمَ لأُجُورِكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الصَّلاةَ بِالشَّكِّ .
Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "You people should perform the morning prayer with the morning (light), because whenever you perform the morning prayer with the morning (light), it will be more virtuous for your reward. (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) for its reward." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Here the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has commanded to perform the Fajr prayer with brightness. The reason for this is that there is a hidden cause in this command, and that is that the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to start performing the Fajr prayer in darkness. So, on moonlit nights, when a person intends to perform the Fajr prayer at the time of true dawn in darkness, it is possible that his prayer may begin at night (i.e., before the true dawn has appeared). Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded to perform the prayer with enough brightness so that it is certain that the true dawn has appeared, and he said: "When you perform the morning prayer," it means that when you are certain that the true dawn has appeared, then this will be a greater cause of reward for you compared to performing the prayer with doubt (i.e., when you are still in doubt about whether its time has begun).
