It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah was asked about the time of the Fajr prayer. So, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to give the Iqamah when the dawn appeared. Then, on the next day, he performed the prayer when it was light (after some brightness had appeared), and said: Where is the one who asked about the time of the Fajr prayer? Its time is between these two times.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offer the Fajr prayer when it becomes bright, for indeed it increases your reward."

(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Recite Fajr when it is bright, for indeed it increases your reward.

Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Offer the Fajr prayer when it becomes bright, for it increases the reward.

Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he went to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) to inform him about the Fajr prayer, but Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) kept him occupied in such a way that she asked him about something, until the whiteness of the morning became apparent and it was clearly morning. Then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the prayer and kept informing him repeatedly, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come out. Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and led the people in prayer, Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) told him that Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) had asked him about something and thus kept him occupied. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed further. He said: I had started to pray the two rak‘ahs of Fajr. They said: You had clearly entered the morning. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if the morning had become more apparent than this, I would have still prayed those two rak‘ahs and performed them beautifully and gracefully.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has performed the Fajr prayer, then for him is Allah Almighty’s guarantee, so do not break Allah Almighty’s guarantee, and whoever breaks His guarantee, then He will demand him and will throw him face down into Hell.

Sayyiduna Jundub bin Sufyan Bajali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs the Fajr prayer comes under the protection of Allah, so do not break Allah's covenant, and do not let it be that Allah demands from you anything from His covenant."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Whoever performs the Fajr prayer comes under the protection of Allah Almighty, so do not break the protection of Allah Almighty.

Abu Umair bin Anas narrates from his uncles, who were companions, that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The hypocrite does not attend these two prayers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant the Fajr and Isha prayers. Abu Bishr, the narrator, said: The meaning of this hadith is that the hypocrite does not persist in performing these two prayers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If for someone the two hooves of a fat goat or any bone are made, then all these people will come to him; if they come to know how much reward there is in ‘Isha and Fajr, they will surely come to perform them, even if they have to crawl. And indeed, I have intended that I order someone to lead the people in prayer, and I go to those who have stayed behind from the prayer and burn them.
