Sunan Abi Dawud 1255 (Book 5, Hadith 6) #21547
Praying Lightly Before Dawn Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ would pray two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer lightly, so lightly that Aishah could not tell if he had recited Surah al-Fatihah in them.

Narrated 'Aishah: The Prophet would pray two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer lightly so much so that I would say: Did he recite Surah al-Fatihah in them.
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 يُخَفِّفُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَقُولُ هَلْ قَرَأَ فِيهِمَا بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was known for his devotion to prayer and worship of Allah. He would often pray two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer, but he would do it so lightly that even his wife Aishah could not tell if he had recited Surah al-Fatihah in them. This teaches us that we should be mindful of our prayers and strive to make them meaningful and heartfelt, even when they are short or done quickly. We should also remember to be humble in our prayers, as the Prophet ﷺ was humble even when praying alone.

This hadith also reminds us of the importance of being mindful of our actions and words at all times, as we never know who is watching or listening. Even though no one else may have been present during the Prophet's ﷺ prayers, he still prayed with humility and reverence for Allah's sake alone. We can learn from this example by striving to always act with integrity and sincerity regardless of who is around us or what we are doing.
