1254. It was reported from 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Umair, from 'Aishah who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would not be more regular with (performing) anything among the voluntary (prayers) than the two Rak'ahs before Subḥ (Fajr prayer)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1254 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ النَّوَافِلِ أَشَدَّ مُعَاهَدَةً مِنْهُ عَلَى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ»

Commentary

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ never missed performing the two Sunnah Rak'ahs of Fajr, not even during his journeys.
