Musnad Ahmad 22926

Translation

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a man while the prayer had been called and he was praying the two rak'ahs before Fajr. He said something to him that we do not know what it was. When we finished, we surrounded him saying: What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to you? He said: He said to me: One of you is about to pray the Fajr prayer as four rak'ahs.
