ahmad:25529ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAbd al-Wārith from my father > Yaḥyá / Ibn Saʿīd from my cousin ʿAmrah > ʿAmmatih ʿAmrah > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray two rak'ahs before dawn prayer and he would shorten them to the point that I would doubt whether he recited Al-Fatiha in them or not.  

أحمد:٢٥٥٢٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَخِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْغَدَاةِ فَيُخَفِّفُهُمَا حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَشُكُّ أَقَرَأَ فِيهِمَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ أَمْ لَا؟

"I would see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying two rak'ahs of Fajr and making them so brief that I said: 'Did he recite the Umm Al-Kitab in them?'"  

النسائي:٩٤٦أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَىِ الْفَجْرِ فَيُخَفِّفُهُمَا حَتَّى أَقُولَ أَقَرَأَ فِيهِمَا بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ

The Prophet ﷺ would pray two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer lightly so much so that I would say: Did he recite Surah al-Fatihah in them.  

أبو داود:١٢٥٥حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُخَفِّفُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَقُولُ هَلْ قَرَأَ فِيهِمَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ  

ahmad:25983Yazīd > Yaḥyá > Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman Āb.iʾakhī ʿAmrah > ʿAmrah > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] She heard Aisha say, "If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform the two Rak'ahs before dawn, he would shorten them. I would even ask, 'Did he recite in them the Mother of the Quran?'"  

أحمد:٢٥٩٨٣حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنِأَخِي عَمْرَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ

أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ فَيُخَفِّفُهُمَا حَتَّى إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَقُولُ هَلْ قَرَأَ فِيهِمَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ  

ahmad:25315Ibn Numayr > Yaḥyá > Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > ʿAmrah > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray the two units of prayer before the dawn (Fajr) prayer, and he would shorten them until I would wonder if he had recited the Umm Al-Quran.  

أحمد:٢٥٣١٥حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ فَيُخَفِّفُهُمَا حَتَّى أَقُولَ هَلْ قَرَأَ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ
