Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

1129 – ʿAbdullāh ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Pray before Maghrib.” On the third occasion he added, “for whoever wishes.”(1) Narrated by al-Bukhārī.

1130 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “I saw the senior Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ racing toward the pillars(2) at the time of Maghrib.” Narrated by al-Bukhārī.

1131 – He also said, “During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ we used to pray two rakʿahs after the sun had set, before Maghrib. Someone asked, ‘Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself pray them?’ He replied, ‘He saw us offering them and neither commanded us nor forbade us.’” Narrated by Muslim.

1132 – He further said, “While we were in Madinah, whenever the mu’adhdhin called for Maghrib the people would hasten to the pillars and perform two rakʿahs, to the extent that a newcomer entering the mosque would think the obligatory prayer had already been offered, because of the large number of people praying them.” Narrated by Muslim.

202 – Chapter: The Sunnah Prayer After and Before ʿIshāʾ

This section includes the previously mentioned hadith of Ibn ʿUmar: “I prayed two rakʿahs with the Prophet ﷺ after ʿIshāʾ,” and the hadith of ʿAbdullāh ibn Mughaffal: “Between every two calls to prayer there is a prayer,” agreed upon, as cited earlier.(3)

(1) Al-Bukhari includes the additional phrase, “out of dislike that people should make it a regular sunnah.” In the authenticated Sunan Abi Dawud (chain abbreviated), 1/238, no. 1140, the wording runs: “Pray two rakahs before Maghrib.” (2) Al-suwari is the plural of sariyah, meaning a pillar; i.e., they would hurry to the columns of the Prophet’s Mosque. (3) Cf. nos. 1105 and 1106.

١١٢٩ - وعن عبد الله بن مُغَفَّل رضي الله عنه ، عن النبي ﷺ ، قال : « صَلُّوا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ » قال في الثَّالِثَةِ : « لِمَنْ شَاءَ » (١) رواه البخاري . ١١٣٠ - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال : لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ كِبَارَ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ، يَبْتَدِرُونَ السَّوَارِي (٢) عِنْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ . رواه البخاري . ١١٣١ - وعنه قال : كُنَّا نُصَلِّي عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ، رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ ، فَقِيلَ : أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّاهُمَا ؟ قَالَ : كَانَ يَرَانَا نُصَلِّيهِمَا فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا . رواه مسلم . ١١٣٢ - وعنه قال : كُنَّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا أَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ لِصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ ، ابْتَدَرُوا السَّوَارِي ، فَرَكَعُوا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ الْغَرِيبَ لَيَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيَحْسَبُ أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ قَدْ صُلِّيَتْ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ مَنْ يُصَلِّيهِمَا . رواه مسلم . ٢٠٢ - باب سنة العشاء بعدها وقبلها فيه حديث ابن عمر السابق : صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ ، وحديث عبد الله بن مُغَفَّلٍ : « بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ » متفق عليه . كما سبق (٣) .
