Hadith 1281
Narrated Abdullah al-Muzani: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Pray two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer. He then said (again): Pray two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer, it applies to those who wish to do so. That was because he feared that the people might treat it as sunnah.
Hadith 1282
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).
Hadith 1283
Narrated Abdullah bin Mughaffal: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Between the two adhans there is a prayer, between the two adhans there is prayer for one who desires (to offer).

حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ
طَاوُسٍ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ
ابْنُ عُمَرَ عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّيهِمَا ، وَرَخَّصَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : سَمِعْت يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ يَقُولُ هُوَ شُعَيْبٌ يَعْنِي وَهِمَ شُعْبَةُ فِي اسْمِهِ .
Narrated Tawus: Ibn Umar was asked about praying two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer. He replied: I did not see anyone praying them during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He (Ibn Umar) permitted to pray two rak'ahs after the Asr prayer. Abu Dawud said: I heard Yahya bin Main say: The correct name of the narrator Abu Shuaib is the Shuaib. Shubah made a mistake in narrating his name.
