418. 'Aīshah narrated: "When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ prayed the two Rak'ah (before) Fajr if he needed something from me he would talk to me, if not, he would go to the Ṣalāt." (Ṣaḥīh)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīh.
Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others disliked talking once Fajr began until one performed the Fajr prayer, except for remembrance of Allāh or what it is a must. This is the saying of Aḥmad and Ishāq.
