417. Ibn 'Umar narrated: "I watched the Prophet ﷺ for a month. In the two Rak'ah before Fajr he would recite: Say: "O you disbelievers!"[1] and Say: "Allāh is One.""[2] (Ḥasan)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Mas'ūd, Anas, Abū Hurairah, Ibn 'Abbās, Ḥāfṣah, and 'Āishah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Ibn 'Umar is a Ḥasan Ḥadīth, we do not know of it as a narration of Ath-Thawrī from Abū Iṣhāq, except from the narration of Abū Aḥmad. What is popular according to the people is the narration of Isrā'īl, from Abū Iṣhāq.
This Hadīth has been reported from Abū Aḥmad, from Isrā'īl as well. Abū Aḥmad Az-Zubairī is trustworthy with a good memory.
He said: I heard Bundār saying: "I have not seen anyone with a better memory than Abū Aḥmad Az-Zubairī."
And [Abū Aḥmad's] name is Muḥammad bin 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubairī Al-Asadī Al-Kūfī.

Commentary
He would make the recitation very brief in the two Sunnah Rak'ah because the recitation in the obligatory Fajr prayer is long.
