995. Narrated Anas bin Sirin: I asked Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما "What is your opinion about the two Rak'a before the Fajr prayer, as to prolonging the recitation in them?" He said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to offer at night two Rak'a followed by two and so on, and end the Ṣalāt (prayer) by one Rak'a Witr. He used to offer two Rak'a before the Fajr prayer immediately after the Adhān." (Ḥammād, the subnarrator said, "That meant (that he offered Ṣalāt) quickly.")
