3041. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: “I never saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ offer any prayer except at the proper time, apart from Maghrib and Ishâ in Jam' (Al-Muzdalifah) and Fajr on that day, which he offered before the usual time.” (Sahîh)
3038 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى صَلَاةً قَطُّ إِلَّا لِمِيقَاتِهَا إِلَّا صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ، صَلَّاهُمَا بِجَمْعٍ، وَصَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَبْلَ مِيقَاتِهَا»

People had been present for long and ready in Muzdalifah. Therefore, no sooner did the dawn appear, than the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ led people in prayer without intervention of any pause or interval, so that people might have enough time to engage themselves in the remembrance (of Allāh) during the halt. Since it (the prayer) was offered pretty early in comparison to other customary practices, it was said to be "before its proper time".
