Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father.Sunan Ibn Majah 2755Sahih (Darussalam), is there a contradiction between the two hadiths?
Answer:
No, there is no contradiction between them. The two rak'ahs of Fajr have a great virtue, and standing guard in the path of Allah also has a great virtue. The bounty of Allah is vast. It does not mean that the standing guard took all the reward and nothing was left for the Fajr sunnah, or the other way around. The bounty of Allah is vast, my brother. Yes.
