So now you've seen the Prophet ﷺ in the congregation in Juma'a and you have prayed behind the Prophet ﷺ and

0:13.8

Now you're wanting to sit in a gathering with him ﷺ and observe him in the midst of that gathering

0:20.0

The youth in particular used to love the mornings that they would have with the Prophet ﷺ.

0:35.0

The messenger of Allah ﷺ would of course lead the Sahaba in Salatul Fajr, he'd lead them in the Fajr prayer

And then the Prophet ﷺ used to sit in the masjid and remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala after the Fajr prayer

0:48.0

All the way up until Salatul Dhul-Hah until the sunrise and sometimes that would be immediately after the sunrise and sometimes it would be a little bit longer after the sunrise

0:57.0

And even then subhanAllah after his worship throughout the night after all of his worship in the morning and remembrance of Allah

The Prophet ﷺ did not always just pray two rakahs at the time of sunrise. He would pray two, four, six or even more at the time of sunrise

And if he missed any of his usual rakahat, any of his usual prayers in the night then he would make them up sometime between the sunrise and the Dhuhur prayer
