Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "When the prayer is called, there is no prayer except the obligatory one, except for the two Rak'ahs of Fajr." [Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, and in its chain are Hajjaj and 'Abbad]
Al-Allamah Al-Ayni said: "Ya'qub ibn Shaybah said: I asked Ibn Ma'in about Hajjaj ibn Nusayr Al-Fasati Al-Basri, and he said: 'He is truthful.' Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the trustworthy. 'Abbad ibn Kathir was among the righteous."
