<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) stressed, through his words and practice, the importance of regularly observing the two-Rak‘ah Sunnah before the Fajr prayer.<br> 2) The wise and fortunate person is the one who would regularly observe an act of Sunnah about which the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “...is better than the world and all that is in it.” How often lazy people miss a great deal of goodness!<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> A person who misses the Sunnah before the Fajr prayer may make up for it immediately after the prayer or after sunrise.<br> The evidence for this from the preserved Prophetic guidance is the Hadith in which Qays ibn ‘Amr ibn Sahl reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) went out (of his chambers) and the Iqāmah was made. I prayed the Fajr prayer with him then he turned and found me performing prayer; so he said: “Wait, O Qays! Are you praying two prayers together?” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, I did not perform the two-Rak‘ah Sunnah of Fajr.” He said: “There is no harm then.” [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi]<br> In another Hadith, Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reportedly said: “Whoever has not offered the two-Rak‘ah Sunnah of Fajr should pray it after sunrise.” [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi]
