[Machine] Narrated Nafi' from Ibn 'Umar from Hafsah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , who said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray two Rak'ahs before Fajr prayer, before the dawn, in my house. He would perform them very lightly." Nafi' said: "Abdullah also used to perform them similarly."  

أحمد:٢٦٤٣٨حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ

حَدَّثَنِي عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ نَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ ابْنَةِ عُمَرَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ فِي بَيْتِي يُخَفِّفُهُمَا جِدًّا قَالَ نَافِعٌ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يُخَفِّفُهُمَا كَذَلِكَ
