أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ
See similar narrations below:
Collected by Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, Tirmidhī, Nasāʾī, Ibn Mājah, Dārimī, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, BayhaqīHafsa reported that when it was dawn, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not observe (any other prayers) but two short rak'ahs.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ لاَ يُصَلِّي إِلاَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ
