1110`Aishah (radiyallahu anha) reported: When the Prophet ﷺ had performed two Rak`ah before the Fajr prayer, he would lie down on his right side.[Al-Bukhari].
1111 `Aishah (radiyallahu anha) reported: When the Prophet ﷺ finished the `Isha prayer, he would perform eleven Rak`ah before the Fajr prayer, concluding each two Rak`ah with Taslim (i.e., saying As-Salamu `Alaikum) and observing the Witr (odd) at the end. When the Mu’adhdhin finished proclaiming Adhan for the Fajr prayer and it was dawn, he would rise and perform two short Rak`ah, and then would lie down on his right side till the Mu’adhdhin came to (inform) him about Iqamah.[Muslim].
1112 Abu Hurairah (radiyallahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When anyone of you has performed two of Sunnah before the Fajr prayer, he should lie down on his right side.”
