Briefness to be Adopted in Performing the two Rak'ah Sunnah before Fajr Prayer, their time and the Surah to recite in them Imam Nawawi had an endless thirst for knowledge, which can be deduced from his daily practice of studies. He used to read twelve lessons daily and write explanations and commentaries of every lesson, all the while making important additions.

He was the son of Sharaf ibn Muriy ibn Hasan ibn Husain ibn Jum’a ibn Hazam Al-Hazami Annawawi and was born at a place named Nawa near Damascus in the year 631 A.H. Imam An Nawawi had a great love for knowledge and learning. Even at the very young age of ten he declined all offers made by the children of his age for fun and games; instead he spent his hours in reciting the Quran and enlightening his heart with knowledge. According to Sheikh Yasin bin Yousad Marakashi: Commentary: 1. Those who make innovations in religion and associate partners with Allah (such as Haluli -who believe in the indwelling light in the soul of man, Wajudi - who believe in the physical form of Allah, and pagans who worship other than Allah) interpret this Hadith in support of their base contention and thus seek support of one wrong from another although the meaning and interpretation of the Hadith is not at all what they describe. In simple and unambiguous terms, the Hadith means that when a person adds voluntary prayers to the obligatory ones, he becomes a favorite slave of Allah and on account of it, he receives special help from Allah. Then he is protected by Allah to the extent that He supervises every organ of his body. Thus. He is saved from disobedience of Allah. He hears what is liked by Allah, sees what is liked by Him, handles what pleases Him. When he attains that lofty position of love and obedience of Allah then Allah in return also grants prayers of His obedient and loyal slaves.
