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

الطبراني:١٦١٣٩ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ثنا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ عَنْ قُطْبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

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

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān

ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ التَّخْفِيفُ فِي رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ إِذَا رَكَعَهُمَا

ibnhibban:2466 – Abū ʿArūbah > Yaḥyá b. Ḥakīm > ʿAbd al-Wahhāb > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > ʿAmrah > ʿĀʾishah

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)   

ابن حبّان:٢٤٦٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَرُوبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَمْرَةَ تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ فَيُخَفِّفُهُمَا حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَقُولُ هَلْ قَرَأَ فِيهِمَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ؟ »
