Hadith #1162
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مُسْتَيْقِظَةً حَدَّثَنِي وَإِلاَّ اضْطَجَعَ. قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ فَإِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ يَرْوِيهِ رَكْعَتَىِ الْفَجْرِ. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ هُوَ ذَاكَ.
Ali bin Abdullah told us, Sufyan told us, Abu Al-Nadr said on the authority of Abu Salamah, on the authority of Aisha - may God be pleased with her - that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, used to pray Two rak'ahs, and if I am awake, talk to me; otherwise, lie down. I said to Sufyan, some of them narrate it: two rak'ahs. Fajr. Sufyan said, “This is it.”
