Hadith 1127

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْد ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَأَى رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي مَقَامِهِ ، فَدَفَعَهُ ، وَقَالَ : أَتُصَلِّي الْجُمُعَةَ أَرْبَعًا " وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَيَقُولُ هَكَذَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ " .
Nafi said: Ibn Umar saw a man praying two rak'ahs after the Friday prayer on the same place (where he offered the Friday prayer). He pushed him and said: Do you offer four rak'ahs of Friday prayer ? Abdullah (bin Umar) used to pray two rak'ahs in his house after the Friday prayer, and he used to say: This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1127. Commentary:
➊ After the obligatory prayers, one should not perform voluntary (nafl) prayers immediately at the same place; rather, one should change location, or create an interval through conversation with someone or by engaging in remembrance (adhkar).
➋ After Jumu‘ah, it is Sunnah to go home and perform two rak‘ahs.
➌ It is the responsibility of the scholars to fulfill the duty of enjoining good and forbidding evil (amr bil-ma‘ruf wa nahi ‘anil-munkar) with courage. However, for this great objective, it is necessary that before exhorting others, one proves oneself worthy of it—that is, one should align one’s own character, conduct, and actions with the purified Sunnah.

Benefit:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to perform voluntary prayers (nafl) and Sunnah prayers at home.
However, it is also permissible to perform Sunnah prayers in the mosque.
