Khalid b. Sumair said

'Abd Allah b. Rabah al-Ansari, whom the Ansar instructed in jurisprudence, came to us from Medina, and he narrated to us, saying: Abu Qatadah al-Ansari, the horseman of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), narrated to me, saying: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent an army of commanders with this story. He said: Nothing awakened us except the rising sun, so we stood up, leaning towards our prayer. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Wait, wait." Until when the sun rose high, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever among you used to pray the two rak'ahs of Fajr, let him pray them." Then whoever used to pray them and whoever had not been praying them stood up and prayed them. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded that the call to prayer be made, and it was called. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and led us in prayer, and when he turned away, he said: "Behold, indeed we praise Allah that we were not engaged in any worldly matters that distracted us from our prayer, but our souls were in the hand of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and He released them whenever He willed. So whoever among you catches the morning prayer tomorrow soundly, let him make up along with it its like."
