“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform two Rak’ah before Fajr, and he used to say: ‘The best two Surah to recite in the two Rak’ah of Fajr are: “Say: Allah is One” [Al-Ikhlas (112)] and “Say: O you disbelievers.” [Al-Kafirun (109)]
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ نِعْمَ السُّورَتَانِ هُمَا يُقْرَأُ بِهِمَا فِي رَكْعَتَىِ الْفَجْرِ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ} وَ {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ}
"I watched the Messenger of Allah ﷺ- twenty times- reciting in the two rak'ahs after maghrib 'Say: O you disbelievers' and 'Say: He is Allah, (the) One.'"
رَمَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَفِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ { قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ } وَ { قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ }
"I can not enumerate (how many times) I heard Messenger of Allah (S) reciting - in the two Rak'ah after Al-Maghrib and the two Rak'ah before Salatul-Fajr with: Say: "O you disbelievers!" and Say: "He is Allah the One."
سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَفِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ بِ (قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ ) وَ (قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ) قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ
“Say: ‘O you disbelievers!” [Al-Kafirun (109)] and “Say: Allah is One.” [Al-Ikhlas (112)]
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَرَأَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ} وَ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ}
“I watched the Prophet ﷺ for a month, and in the two Rak’ah before Fajr he used to recite: “Say: O you disbelievers!” [Al-Kafirun (109)] and “Say: Allah is One.” [Al- Ikhlas (112)]
رَمَقْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ شَهْرًا فَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ} وَ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ}

رَمَقْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ شَهْرًا فَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ
[Machine] Regarding the reading in the two units before the Fajr prayer, she said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite them easier, and she mentioned saying 'O disbelievers' and saying 'He is Allah, the One'."
عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ؟ فَقَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسِرُّ الْقِرَاءَةَ فِيهِمَا وَذَكَرَتْ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to pray four units before Dhuhr (noon prayer) and then would add two units after it and two units before Fajr (dawn prayer). He would say, "What excellent two chapters (surahs) they are that you recite in the two units before Fajr. Say: O disbelievers, and say: Allah is One."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ مَرَّةً رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ نِعْمَ السُّورَتَانِ هُمَا تَقْرَؤُونَهُمَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَالْفَجْرِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ
The Prophet ﷺ would recite in the two (supererogatory) rak'ahs of the dawn prayer: "Say, O unbelievers" [Surat al-Kafiroon:1] and "Say: He is Allah, the one" [Surat al-Ikhlas:1] (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1256)
أَسَرَّ تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ الْقِرَاءَةَ فِي رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ وَقَرَأَ فِيهِمَا قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نِعْمَ السُّورَتَانِ هُمَا تُقْرَآنِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ»

[Machine] "I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ praying twenty-five times, and he used to recite in the two units of prayer before Fajr and the two units of prayer before Maghrib, 'Qul ya ayyuhal kafirun' and 'Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad'."
«شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً فَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَالرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ»
