My father narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us from Ahmad b. Abi `Abdillah from Abi’l Jawza’ from al-Husayn b. `Ilwan from `Amr b. Khalid from `Asim b. Abi’l Najud al-Asadi from Ibn `Umar from al-Hasan b. `Ali . He said: I heard My father `Ali b. Abi Talib say: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: If a Muslim person were to sit in his place of prayer in which he prays Fajr, remembering Allah until sunrise, he will have the reward of one who has made pilgrimage to the House of Allah – and he will be forgiven. If he sits in it until the moment in which prayer becomes permissible [again after sunrise], then prays two or four units, [all] his past sins will be forgiven, and he will have the reward of one who has made pilgrimage to the House of Allah.
