Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 5, Hadith 351
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhainah said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a man who was praying when the Iqamah for Subh prayer had been called, and he said something to him, I do not know what he said. When he finished, we surrounded the man and asked him: ‘What did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say to you?’ He said: ‘He said to me: “Soon one of you will pray Fajr with four Rak’ah.’”
“ يُوشِكُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الْفَجْرَ أَرْبعًا ” .
Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 5, Hadith 351
Sahih (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Ibn Majah’s Sunan is an integral part of the six most revered hadith collections in Sunni Islam. Compiled in the 3rd century AH (9th century CE), this volume consists of about 4,000 hadiths that span a vast range of Islamic sciences. Readers will find chapters dedicated to creed, the intricacies of devotional practices, guidelines for ethical behavior, and legal opinions on social conduct. A critical aspect of this collection is that it is often subject to more scrutiny regarding its authenticity. Experts in hadith criticism have pointed out that it contains a number of narrations considered weak or problematic when measured against the rigorous standards of the other five books. Even so, it is an indispensable work for those pursuing advanced Islamic studies.
