i have a question regarding Fajr salat. sometimes i do not go to sleep after isha salat, and stay up till fajr. i sometimes pray fajr at home,

Hadhrat Sulaymaan ibn Abi Hatmah (Radhiallaahu Anhu) is one of the eminent people of the early days of Islam. He was born in the lifetime of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), but was too young then to have the honour of listening to any Hadith from Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).

During the Khalifat of Hadhrat Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu), he was made incharge of the market. One day, Hadhrat Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) found him missing in Fajr Salaat. Hadhrat Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) went to his house and enquired from his mother why Sulaymaan was not present in Fajr. She replied, 'He kept saying Nafl Salaat throughout the night and sleep overpowered him at the time of Fajr.' At this, Hadhrat Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) remarked, 'I would prefer my Fajr with Jamaat to my offering Nafl Salaat all night long.' (Fadhaail-e-Aamaal chapter3)
