Praying Two Rak'ahs Between Adhan and Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad used to pray two brief rak'ahs between the call of Adhan and the prayer.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that Hafsah said: "The Messenger of Allah used to pray two brief rak'ahs between the call (the Adhan) and the prayer".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَرْكَعُ بَيْنَ النِّدَاءِ وَالصَّلاَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray two brief rak'ahs after hearing adhan

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the practice of praying two brief rak’ahs between the call of adhan and prayer. The adhan is a call to prayer that is made five times a day in Muslim communities. After hearing this call, Muslims are encouraged to perform two short rak’ahs before beginning their formal prayers. A rak’ah is one unit of Islamic prayer which consists of standing up straight with hands raised, reciting verses from the Quran, bowing down in reverence to Allah, prostrating on the ground with forehead touching it while praising Allah, sitting up for a few moments in contemplation and then repeating these steps again until two full cycles are completed. This practice was taught by Prophet Muhammad as an act of worship that brings one closer to Allah through remembrance and devotion. It also serves as an important reminder for Muslims to pause before beginning their formal prayers so they can focus on worshipping God with sincerity and humility.
