1144. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to pray two Rak'ah before the morning (prayer), as if the Adhān were in his ears. (i.e., he would pray them briefly). (Sahih) ۱۱۴۴ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ أَبَانَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الرُّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْعَدَاةِ، كَانَ الْأَذَانُ بِأُذُنَيْهِ.
1144 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْغَدَاةِ، كَأَنَّ الْأَذَانَ بِأُذُنَيْهِ»

a. Performing the two Rak'ah briefly should not be interpreted as not performing the bowing and prostration etc., with ease. It only means reducing the number of phrases and words extolling the glory of Allāh, and the length of the recited Verses of the Qur'ān. b. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was wont to recite the Qur'ānic chapters Al-Kāfirun and Al-Ikhlas, which are among the shortest Surah, in his prayer of Sunnah before Fajr (Sahih Muslim: 98 and Sunan Ibn Mājah: 1148-1150). Occasionally, he ﷺ even made a bit longer recitation from these. (Sahih Muslim: ibid).
