The virtue of one who prays Fajr and then sits in his place of worship remembering Allah until the sun rises

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sender, Umm Muhammad from the Al-Wajh Governorate, has a number of questions. In the first one, she says: I heard a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in which it is mentioned that whoever
observed the dawn prayer, he sat at the place of worship till the sun had risenصَلَّى الْفَجْرَ جَلَسَ فِي مُصَلاَّهُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ
Sahih Muslim 670b
is recorded for him a complete 'Umrah and Hajj. Does the hadith mean that it is done once and the reward is recorded, or is the reward not recorded unless it is done on a permanent basis?

Answer:
Yes, this was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Although there is discussion regarding the hadith, this is among the virtues of deeds. If he does it once or more, then what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) promised is hoped for him. It is not a condition for this to continue doing it. If he does it at times, he will obtain the reward, if Allah wills. And if he persists in it, that is better and the reward is greater. Yes.
