Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ لِلصُّبْحِ وَبَدَا الصُّبْحُ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُقَامَ الصَّلاَةُ.
Translation
‘Abdullah bin Yusuf narrated to us: Malik informed us, from Nafi‘, from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar, who said: Hafsa informed me that when the caller announced the dawn prayer and daybreak appeared, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray two brief rak‘ahs before the prayer was commenced.
