Hafsa 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

Did he recite in them Surah Fatiha (only)?

أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَىِ الْفَجْرِ فَيُخَفِّفُ حَتَّى إِنِّي أَقُولُ هَلْ قَرَأَ فِيهِمَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ

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.

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

"When the dawn appears, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would only pray two short Rak'ahs."

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ لاَ يُصَلِّي إِلاَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ

"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?'"

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

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray two rak'ahs when dawn had broken.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ

"When dawn came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not pray anything but two brief rak'ahs."

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ لاَ يُصَلِّي إِلاَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ

'A'isha reported that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up at night to pray, he began his prayer with two short rak'ahs. (Using translation from Muslim 767)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يُصَلِّي افْتَتَحَ صَلَاتَهُ بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ

[AI] She said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray two units of prayer when the dawn broke or he would only pray two units of prayer. I say that he used to recite the opening chapter of the book (Al-Fatiha) in them.

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَقُولُ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ

[AI] 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.

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

[AI] "She said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray two units of prayer when dawn broke, or he did not pray except two units of prayer. Shall I recite the opening chapter of the book in them?"

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَقُولُ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ؟

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ used to shorten his two units of prayer during Fajr.

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُخَفِّفُ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ

[AI] 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?'"

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

The Prophet ﷺ used to lie down on his right side, after offering two rakʿat (Sunna) of the Fajr prayer. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1160)

[AI] "When the Messenger of Allahﷺ used to offer the two raka'ahs of Fajr prayer, he would recite them so lightly that I would think he had not recited the opening chapter of the Quran (Al-Fatiha)."

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ خَفَّفْهُمَا حَتَّى يَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1255)

[AI] "I prayed the Fajr prayer with the Prophet (PBUH) and in the first Rak'ah (unit of prayer), he recited the Quran Majid."

«صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْفَجْرَ فَقَرَأَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ»
