Sahih Muslim Hadith 1761 – The Night Prayers

English

[1761] 157 – ( … ) It was narrated that Anas bin SIrIn said: "I asked Ibn 'Umar: 'Do you think that in the two Rak'ah before Al-Ghadâh (Fajr) prayer I should recite for a long time?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah used to pray two by two at night, then he would pray War with one Rak'ah. He said: 'It is not about this that I was asking.' He said: 'You are dense. Why don't you let me narrate the HadIth in full? The Messenger of Allah 4f used to pray two by two at night, then he would pray War with one Rak'ah, then he would pray two Rak'ah before Al-Ghadáh (Fajr) as if the Iqâmah was in his ears." Khalf (one of the narrators) said: "Before A1-Ghadâh" and he did not mention: "prayer."
