Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُخَفِّفُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَقُولُ هَلْ قَرَأَ فِيهِمَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ
Translation
Ahmad ibn Abi Shu'ayb al-Harrani narrated to us: Zuhayr ibn Muawiyah narrated to us: Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman, from Amrah, from Aishah, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would make the two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer so brief that I would wonder whether he had recited the Opening of the Book in them.
