IMPORTANCE THE PROPHET PLACED ON OFFERING THE VOLUNTARY PRAYER BEFORE DAWN

1122

Bilal went to inform the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, before calling the Adhan for the Dawn prayer but was asked a question by Lady Ayesha, Mother of the Believers.

Having replied to the question Bilal then went to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, who, proceeded to offer his voluntary two units of prayer at home, then he came out and lead the obligatory prayer. Afterwards, Bilal told the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, he had been delayed from calling the prayer and mentioned the reason. Thereupon the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said, “Had you come even if the morning light had become brighter I would still have prayed my two voluntary units of prayer, and I would have prayed them nicely and beautifully.”

Abu Daud with a chain up to Bilal who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
