وعن أبي عبد الله بلال بن رباح رضي الله عنه, مؤذن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليؤذنه بصلاة الغداة, فشغلت عائشة بلالا بأمر سألته عنه حتى أصبح جدا, فقام بلال فآذنه بالصلاة, وتابع أذانه, فلم يخرج رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم َ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ، فَأَخبَرهُ عَائِشَةَ شَغَلَتْهُ بِأَمْرٍ سَأَلَتْهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى أَصْبَ جدا, وأنه أبطأ عليه بالخروج, فقال يعني النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: "إني كنت ركعت ركعتي الفجر" فقال: يا رسول الله إنك أصبحت جدا? فقالَ: "لَوْ أَصْبَحْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَصبَحْتُ ل لرَكعْتُهُمَا ، وأَحْسنْتُهُمَا وَأَجمَلْتُهُمَا" رَوَاهُ أَبو دَاوُدَ بِإِسْنَادٍ حَسَنٍ

From Abu ‘Abdillah Bilal bin Rabah, the muezzin of the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam, that he came to the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam to inform him of the prayer times of Shubuh. However, Aisha made busy Bilal with one thing she asked so that it was very early in the morning. Then Bilal stood up and told him the prayer times and followed by his prayer. However, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam had not yet come out. So when the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam came out, he prayed for the people.

After that, Bilal told him that is Aisha had occupied herself with one request so that it was very early in the morning and the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam was slow to come out. So he said, "I carried out prayers two rak'ahs qabliyah Shubuh first." Bilal then said, "O Messenger of Allah, in fact you have entered the time of the morning?" He said, "If I were later than this morning, I would pray two raka 'at that, as well as perfecting and dividing it. "(Narrated by Abu Daud, with sanad hasan) [HR. Abu Daud, no. 1257. Al-Hafizh Abu Thahir said that this hadith sanad is authentic]



Benefit of Hadith
May talk to a woman and ask her when needed.
Bilal truly glorified the Prophet's name, yah Aisha radhiyallahu ‘anha, He really heard what Aisha said to fulfill her purpose and did not deny it.
May preach there are people who make us become busy, keep conveying in a subtle way.
Let the worshipers wait for the priest until the priest arrives as long as he does not escape prayer times.
It's okay for the muezzin to ask the priest to immediately attend the prayer.
Anyone who leaves the prayer or leaves the prayer time without getting old, even busy with buying and selling, let there be additional practice done such as increasing the reading of the Qur'an, multiplying the rosary of dhikr, increasing prayer, thuma'ninah and khusyu in worship during the time is still there. This is done to cover up the shortcomings because of ending the prayer from the beginning of time. Covering these shortcomings can also be done by giving charity and freeing slaves as done by the salaf in the past.
‘Umar bin Al-Khattab radhiyallahu‘ anhupernah punished himself by issuing alms in the form of land that cost 200,000 dirhams because he escaped from the prayer ‘Asr in congregation.

Ibn ‘Umarradhiyahuahu hum Anapapah one time escaped from prayer in congregation, he instead replaced it by living the whole night.

Ibn Abi Rabi'ah rahimahullah never escaped from the two sunnah prayers of Sunnah Fajar, for his ransom, he freed a slave.

Ibn ‘Aun Rahimahullah made a mistake, when his mother called him, he answered in a loud voice instead. He finally released two slaves. (Hilyah Al-Auliya ', 3:39. See A’mal Al-Qulub, p. 385)

Imam Al-Muzani when he escaped from one jama'ah prayer, he redeemed him by doing the prayer twenty-five times. (A'lam An-Nubala ’Siyar, 12: 495)
