420. Abū Hurairah narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "When one of you prays the two Rak'ah of Fajr then let him lay down on his right (side)." (Ḍaṭf) [He said:] There is something on this topic from 'Āishah. Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb Ḥadīth from this route. It has been reported from 'Āishah that when the Prophet ﷺ prayed the two Rak'ah (before) Fajr in his house he would lie down on his right (side). Some of the people of knowledge considered it recommended to do this.

٤٢٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌بِشْرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ». وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ. حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ فِي بَيْتِهِ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ. وَقَدْ رَأَى بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يُفْعَلَ هَذَا اسْتِحْبَابًا.

Commentary

The truth is that lying down after the Sunnah of Fajr is desirable; exaggeration and negligence about it is not right.
