Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُو
لُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعًا قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ مَرَّةً رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا وَرَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ نِعْمَ السُّورَتَانِ هُمَا يَقْرَءُونَهُمَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pray four rak'ahs before Dhuhr and two rak'ahs after it, and two rak'ahs before Fajr. He would say: "What excellent surahs they are" — meaning Surah al-Kafirun and Surah al-Ikhlas recited in the two rak'ahs before Fajr.'
