Hadith 1122

نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مُسْتَيْقِظَةً حَدَّثَنِي ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ نَائِمَةً اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّى يَقُومَ لِلصَّلاةِ "
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform the two rak'ahs (Sunnah) of Fajr, then if I was awake, he would talk with me, and if I was asleep, he would lie down until the (obligatory) prayer stood.
وَالدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا أَمَرَ بِالِاضْطِجَاعِ بَعْدَ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ أَمْرَ نَدْبٍ وَإِرْشَادٍ لَا أَمْرَ فَرْضٍ وَإِيجَابٍ، وَالرُّخْصَةِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ بَعْدَ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ
And the evidence that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, only commanded lying down after the two rak‘ahs of Fajr as a recommendation and guidance, not as an obligation or requirement, and the concession in the hadith after the two rak‘ahs of Fajr.
