أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ خُشَيْشُ بْنُ أَصْرَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَسَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي سَفَرٍ لَهُ مَنْ يَکْلَؤُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ لَا نَرْقُدَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ بِلَالٌ أَنَا فَاسْتَقْبَلَ مَطْلَعَ الشَّمْسِ فَضُرِبَ عَلَی آذَانِهِمْ حَتَّی أَيْقَظَهُمْ حَرُّ الشَّمْسِ فَقَامُوا فَقَالَ تَوَضَّئُوا ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ فَصَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ وَصَلَّوْا رَکْعَتَيْ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ صَلَّوْا الْفَجْرَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 628
It was narrated from Nafi’ bin Jubair, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said during a journey: “Who will watch out for dawn for us, so that we do not sleep and miss the dawn prayer?” Bilal said: ‘I will.’ He turned to face the direction where the sun would rise, but they fell fast asleep until the heat of the sun woke them up, then they got up. He said: ‘Perform Wudu’.’ Then Bilal called the Adhan and he prayed two Rak’ahs, and they prayed the two (Sunnah) Rak’ahs of Fajr, then they prayed Fajr.” (Sahih)
