Sunnah of the Maghrib Prayer
[In the previous chapter, the practice of the Prophet (PBUH) has been reported by `Umar and `Aishah (May Allah be
pleased with them) that he (PBUH) used to perform two Rak`ah Sunnah after the obligatory Maghrib prayer].

`Abdullah bin Mughaffal (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "
Perform two
Rak`ah before Maghrib prayer
.'' He (PBUH) repeated it twice; when repeating it for the third time he added: "
He
who may so wish
.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
This Salat means that the two Rak`ah are performed after the Adhan of Maghrib prayer but before
the Fard Salat. This is elucidated by other Ahadith. Although this has the position of Sunnah Ghair Mu'akkadah, its
importance is evident from the fact that the Prophet (PBUH) stressed it three times. Usually an order (Amr) signifies
that the act is "
essential
" but here the decency embedded in the words "
He who may so wish
" has turned it to
"
desirable
". In any case, inducement and stress of the Prophet (PBUH) on this Salat has left no room to doubt that it
is desirable. Ahadith which follow lend further support to this contention.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I saw the principal Companions of Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) rushing to the pillars (of the mosque) to perform two Rak`ah prayers behind them before the Maghrib
prayer
.
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
"
Rushing to the pillars
" here refers to the haste which the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH)
usually showed in occupying the place near the pillars to perform the two Rak`ah before Maghrib prayer. Thus, this
Hadith confirms the practice of the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) in respect of the two Rak`ah performed
before Maghrib prayer.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I
n the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), we used
to perform two Rak`ah (optional prayer) after sunset before the Maghrib prayer
. It was asked: "
Did Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) perform them?
'' He replied: "
He saw us performing it, but he neither ordered us to perform them nor
did he forbid us from doing so
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith mentions the practice of the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) in respect of two
Rak`ah performed before Maghrib prayer. They sometimes performed these Rak`ah in the presence of the Prophet
(PBUH). Thus according to the narration of Anas (May Allah be pleased with ihm) their being in practice is proved.
But this statement of Anas is according to his own knowledge, otherwise, we have already seen a Hadith in which
the Prophet (PBUH) stressed the need to perform them by way of inducement. Thus, it is proved by his speech as
well.
