1780 - أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنْ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ النِّدَاءِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ»

Commentary
After the long and prolonged Rak'ahs of the Tahajjud, these Rak'ahs really appear light. Although Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to also perform them tranquilly, serenely, and steadily; he would keep the recitation brief. For instance, he would recite Surat Al-Kāfirin and Surat Al-Ikhhlās.
