Hadith text

Narrated Anas bin Seereen:I asked Ibn `Umar, "What is your opinion about the two rak`at before the Fajr (compulsory) prayer, as to prolonging the recitation in them?" He said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray at night two rak`at followed by two and so on, and end the prayer by one rak`ah witr. He used to offer two rak`at before the Fajr prayer immediately after the Adhan." (Hammad, the sub-narrator said, "That meant (that he prayed) quickly

Anas bin Seereen bataate hain: "Maine Ibn Umar se pucha: 'Fajr se pehle ki do rakat ke baare mein aapki kya raay hai — kya unme lambi tilawat ki jaaye?' Unhone jawab diya: 'Nabi raat ko do-do rakat karke padhte the aur namaz ek rakat Witr par khatam karte. Aap Adhan ke foran baad Fajr se pehle do rakat padhte the.'" (Hammad, doosre raawi ne kaha: "Iska matlab hai woh jaldi padhte the.")
