Arabic text
1362 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ النِّسَاءُ يُصَلِّينَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْفَجْرَ، فَكَانَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ انْصَرَفْنَ مُتَلَفِّعَاتٍ بِمُرُوطِهِنَّ، فَلَا يُعْرَفْنَ مِنَ الْغَلَسِ»

Commentary
It follows from this narration that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ usually completed the Fajr prayer in lingering darkness (at the time called Ghalas). (According to the classical Arabic lexicographers, the term Ghalas is applied to the darkness of the last part of the night, when it becomes mixed with the light of dawn, or the beginning of the dawn, until it spreads in the tracts of the horizon). Although performing it in the time of Asfār, when the light of daybreak is more clearly visible, is also permitted.
