Waiting in the Masjid until the sun rises and then offering supererogatory Prayer before noon

Q 2: A man sits in the Masjid (mosque) to recite Qur'an after offering Fajr (Dawn) Prayer until sunrise, then he prays two Rak`ahs (unit of Prayer). However, some people denied his deed and said: It is not permissible because it is the tradition of the worshippers of the Sun. Please, advise! May Allah reward you! A: Whoever sits in the Masjid to recite Qur'an and the formulas of Adhkar (invocations and remembrances said at certain times on a regular basis) after offering Fajr Prayer until sunrise is clear and the time when Salah is forbidden is over and prays two Rak`ahs or what he could, he indeed does a good and great deed. His act agrees with the Sunnah and is rewarded, In sha’a-Allah (if Allah wills). In support of this, it is reported on the authority of Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever prays the morning prayer in congregation then sits remembering Allah until the sun rises, then prays two units of prayer has the reward like that of Hajj and `Umrah.

(Part No. 6; Page No. 147) The Messenger of Allah (May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him) said: ‘Completely, completely, completely’ Recorded by Al-Tirmidhy who said: It is Hadith Hasan Gharib (a good Hadith that is strange to come from this chain of narration) from Sahl ibn Mu`adh from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon him) said: "If anyone sits in his place of prayer when he finishes the dawn prayer till he prays the two Rak'ahs of the forenoon, saying nothing but what is good, his sins will be forgiven even if they are more than the foam of the sea". Recorded by Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud. According to another narration: His would be Paradise The same narration is recorded by Al-Bayhaqy but he added in the end of the report: “Hellfire will never touch his skin.” The report has many supporting traditions that back its authority and is also strengthened with the report of Jabir Ibn Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to sit crossed legged after the Fajr (dawn) Prayer in the same place in which he had prayed till the sunrise is complete. Recorded by Imam Muslim in his Sahih (authentic) Collection of Hadith, Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhy, and Al-Nasa'y. The denial expressed by some people against his man is baseless denial and only ignorant people may deny this act. (Part No. 6; Page No. 148) May Allah grant us success.
