The Virtue of the Sunnah of Fajr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh Salih, for this guidance. The two rak'ahs of Fajr are better than the world and all that it contains. The questioner, one thousand from al-Baha, asks: Did this hadith come with this meaning, and when is it prayed?

Answer:
No. The two rak'ahs of Fajr are a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave them off, whether resident or traveling. Yes. What came in the question, that they are better than the world and all that it contains, came with its meaning in a hadith from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), in a hadith:
Do not omit them (the two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer) even if you are driven away by the horses.آخر لاَ تَدَعُوهُمَا وَإِنْ طَرَدَتْكُمُ الْخَيْلُ.
Sunan Abi Dawud 1258Da'if (Al-Albani)
