Arabic text
1776 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ»

Commentary
Common optional ritual prayers are forbidden after the break of dawn until after the sun has risen high. Only the two (Rak'ahs) Sunnah are legitimate. If they are missed before the obligatory prayer, they might also be offered after it. No other voluntary ritual prayer is permissible at that time.
