Dhu Mikhbar al-Habashi, who used to serve the Prophet ﷺ, reported a version of the previous tradition. The Prophet ﷺ performed ablution in such a way that there is no mud on the earth. He then commanded Bilal (to call for prayer). He called for prayer. The Prophet ﷺ stood and offered two rak'ahs of prayer unhurriedly. This is narrated by Hajjaj on the authority of Yazid bin Sulaih from Dhu Mikhbar from a person of al-Habashah (Ethiopia). Ubaid (a narrator) said: Yazid bin Salih (instead of Yazid bin Sulaih).

Imran bin Husain said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on his journey. They (the people) slept abandoning the Fajr prayer. They awoke by the heat of the sun. Then they travelled a little until the sun rose high. He (the Prophet) commanded the muadhdhin (one who called for prayer) to call for prayer. He then offered two rak'ahs of prayer (sunnah prayer) before the (obligatory) fajr prayer. Then he (the muadhdhin) announced for saying the prayer in congregation (i. e. he uttered iqamah). Then he led them in the morning prayer.
