Narrated Anas bin Malik: I offered two rak'ahs of prayer before the Maghrib prayer (i. e. obligatory) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I (narrator al-Mukhtar bin Fulful) asked Anas: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ se you ? He replied: Yes, but he neither commanded us nor forbade us (to do so).
