[1100] عن عائشة رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنها : أنَّ النَّبيَّ كَانَ لا يَدَعُ أرْبَعاً قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ ، وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الغَدَاةِ . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ . قال الداودي : وقع في حديث ابن عمر أن قبل الظهر ركعتين ، وفي حديث عائشة أربعًا ، وهو محمول على أن كل واحد منهما وَصَف ما رأى . وقال الحافظ : كان تارة يصلي ركعتين ، وتارة يصلي أربعًا . وقال الطبري : الأربع كانت في كثير من أحواله ، والركعتان في قليلها .
1100. 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) never omitted four Rak'ah prayer before the Zuhr prayer and two Rak'ah prayers before dawn (Fajr) prayer.
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: This Hadith tells us the practice of the Prophet (PBUH) in respect of the four Rak'ah Sunnah of Zuhr prayers and the two of Fajr prayers. He (PBUH) used to perform both regularly. Such Rak'ah are called Sunnah Rawatib or Sunnah Mu'akkadah (compulsory prayers).
[1101] وعنها قالت : لَمْ يَكُنِ النَّبِيُّ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ النَّوَافِلِ أشَدَّ تَعَاهُدَاً مِنهُ عَلَى رَكْعَتَي الفَجْرِ . متفقٌ عَلَيهِ .
1101. 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) did not attach more importance to any Nawafil prayer than the two Rak'ah of prayer before dawn (Fajr) prayer.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith tell us about the special preparation which the Prophet (PBUH) used to make for performing the two Rak'ah of Fajr prayers.
[1102] وعنها عن النبي قَالَ : « رَكْعَتَا الفَجْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا » . رواه مسلم وفي رواية : « لَهُمَا أحَبُّ إليَّ مِنَ الدنْيَا جَمِيعاً » . في هذا الحديث : دليلٌ على تأكيد ركعتي الفجر وعِظَم ثوابهما .
1102. 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The two Rak'ah before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are better than this world and all it contains."
[Muslim]
Another narration goes: "The two Rak'ah before the dawn (Fajr) prayer are dearer to me than the whole world."
Commentary: This Hadith tells us the merits of the two Rak'ah of Fajr prayers.
All the Ahadith mentioned above prove that the two Rak'ah of Fajr are highly meritorious, and one should not show any slackness or negligence in offering them.
[1103] وعن أبي عبد الله بلالِ بن رَبَاح مُؤَذِّن رَسُولِ اللهِ : أنَّهُ أتَى رسول الله لِيُؤْذِنَه بِصَلاةِ الغَدَاةِ ، فَشَغَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ بِلالاً بِأَمْرٍ سَأَلَتْهُ عَنْهُ ، حَتَّى أصْبَحَ جِدّاً، فَقَامَ بِلالٌ فَآذَنَهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ، وَتَابَعَ أذَانَهُ ، فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ رسول الله فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ، فَأخْبَرَهُ أنَّ عَائِشَةَ شَغَلَتْهُ بِأمْرٍ سَأَلَتْهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أصْبَحَ جِدّاً ، وَأنَّهُ أبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ بِالخُرُوجِ ، فَقَالَ - يَعْنِي النَّبيَّ - : « إنِّي كُنْتُ رَكَعْتُ رَكْعْتَي الفَجْرِ » فقالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إنَّكَ أصْبَحْتَ جِدّاً ؟ فقَالَ : « لَوْ أصْبَحْتُ أكْثَرَ مِمَّا أصْبَحْتُ ، لَرَكَعْتُهُمَا ، وَأحْسَنْتُهُمَا وَأجْمَلْتُهُمَا » . رواه أبُو دَاوُدَ بإسناد حسن . في هذا الحديث : أن ركعتي الفجر لا تترك قبل الفرض ولو أسفر جدًا .
1103. Abu 'Abdullah Bilal bin Rabah (May Allah be pleased with him) the Mu'adhdhin of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) reported: I went to inform the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about the time of the dawn (Fajr) prayer, and 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) kept me busy and began to ask me about something till the day grew bright. Then I got up and informed the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) of the time of Salat. I informed him again but he did not came out immediately to lead As-Salat. When he came out, he led As-Salat. I said to him: 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) kept me busy and thus diverted my attention by asking about something and the morning grew bright. You also came out late. Upon that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "I was engaged in performing two Rak'ah of Fajr prayer." Bilal (May Allah be pleased with him)said: "O Messenger of Allah! You delayed As-Salat so long as the morning grew bright." He (PBUH) replied, "Even if the morning had become brighter than it had, I would have performed two Rak'ah of prayer in an excellent manner."
[Abu Dawud].
Commentary: This Hadith also tells us about the importance of the two Rak'ah of Fajr prayers and stresses the need to perform them with full concentration.
