وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ فِي بَيْتِهِ قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ حِينَ يَطْلُعُ الْفَجْرُ "

Ibn Umar said: I prayed with the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, two rakahs before the noon prayer and two after it, two after the sunset prayer in his house, and two after the night prayer in his house. He said: Hafsah also told me that the Messenger of God used to pray two brief rakahs when dawn broke.
