Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: Abu al-Nu'man narrated to us, Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, Anas ibn Sirin narrated to us, saying: Hammad said: That is, with speed.
The Shaykh : His statement: "as if the adhan" The apparent meaning of the adhan here is the iqamah, meaning he hastens until it is as if he is hearing the iqamah now. This is as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: So the recommended practice in the sunnah of Fajr is to lighten it. Refer to his statement "as if the adhan were in his ears" in al-Fath.
The reader: "His statement: 'wa-kan,' with a shaddah on the nun. His statement 'in his ears' means because of the proximity of his prayer to the adhan, and the intended meaning here is the iqamah".
I said to Ibn 'Umar: "What do you say about the two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer? Do I lengthen the recitation in them?" He said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray at night in pairs, and he would complete his prayer with one rak'ah, and he would pray the two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer as if the adhan were in his ears."
قلت لابن عمر: أرأيت الركعتين قبل صلاة الغداة أطيل فيهما القراءة؟ فقال : كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي من الليل مثنى مثنى، ويوتر بركعة ويصلي الركعتين قبل صلاة الغداة وكأن الأذان بأذنيهThe Shaykh : His statement: "as if the adhan" The apparent meaning of the adhan here is the iqamah, meaning he hastens until it is as if he is hearing the iqamah now. This is as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
He used to hasten in the two rak'ahs of Fajr until I would say, "Did he recite the Am al-Quran?"
كان يسرع في ركعتي الفجر حتى أقول أقرا بأم القرآنThe reader: "His statement: 'wa-kan,' with a shaddah on the nun. His statement 'in his ears' means because of the proximity of his prayer to the adhan, and the intended meaning here is the iqamah".
