English translation

1257. It was reported from Abū Ziyādah 'Ubaidullāh bin Ziyād Al-Kīndī from Bilāl who narrated to him that he once went to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, informing him of the Ghadāh (Fajr) prayer. But 'Aishah asked Bilāl concerning a matter, which kept him busy until the morning became clear, and (the sky) was bright. So Bilāl stood up and called the Adhān for the prayer, and then went back to inform him. But the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not come out (immediately). When he came out, he led the people in prayer. And Bilāl then informed him that 'Aishah kept him busy regarding a matter she had asked him, until it became bright, and that he was delayed in coming out. So the Prophet ﷺ said: "I had prayed the two Rak'ahs of Fajr." He said: "O Messenger of Allāh, you have (prayed) when it is very bright!" So he replied, "Had it been even brighter, I would have prayed them, and prayed them beautifully and briefly." (Saḥīh)

Arabic text

1257 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زِيَادَةَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادَةَ الْكِنْدِيُّ، عَنْ بِلَالٍ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيُؤْذِنَهُ بِصَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ، فَشَغَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا بِلَالًا بِأَمْرٍ سَأَلَتْهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى فَضَحَهُ الصُّبْحُ، فَأَصْبَحَ جِدًّا، قَالَ: فَقَامَ بِلَالٌ، فَآذَنَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ، وَتَابَعَ أَذَانَهُ، فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ، وَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ شَغَلَتْهُ بِأَمْرٍ سَأَلَتْهُ عَنْهُ، حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ جِدًّا، وَأَنَّهُ أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْخُرُوجِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي كُنْتُ رَكَعْتُ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ»، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّكَ أَصْبَحْتَ جِدًّا، قَالَ: «لَوْ أَصْبَحْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ لَرَكَعْتُهُمَا، وَأَحْسَنْتُهُمَا، وَأَجْمَلْتُهُمَا»
