Hadith 2081
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَأَذَّنَ صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ قَامَ مَنْ شَاءَ فَصَلَّى حَتَّى تُقَامَ الصَّلَاةُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ، وَذَلِكَ بَعْيْنَيِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when the muezzin would stand up and give the adhan for Maghrib in the mosque of Madinah Munawwarah, whoever wished would stand and keep performing prayer until the congregational prayer was established, and whoever wished would perform two rak‘ahs and then sit down, and all of this would happen before the eyes of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Hadith 2082
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: كَانَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ إِذَا أَذَّنَ قَامَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَبْتَدِرُونَ السَّوَارِي حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ، يَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالإِقَامَةِ إِلَّا قَرِيبٌ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the muezzin would call the adhan for Maghrib, the Companions would rush towards the pillars to perform two rak‘ahs before Maghrib, and when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would arrive, they would be in that state, and there would be a short interval between the adhan and the iqamah.
Hadith 2083
عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ حِينَ يَسْمَعُ أَذَانَ الْمَغْرِبِ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَلَا أُعَجِّبُكَ مِنْ أَبِي تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيِّ يَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَغْمِصَهُ، قَالَ عُقْبَةُ: أَمَا إِنَّا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا يَمْنَعُكَ الْآنَ؟ قَالَ: الشُّغْلُ
Abu al-Khair says: I saw Abu Tamim Abdullah bin Malik Jaishani praying two rak‘ahs as soon as he heard the adhan of Maghrib. Seeing this, I went to Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: Shall I not amaze you by telling you about Abu Tamim Jaishani? He prays two rak‘ahs before the Maghrib prayer, and I wish to criticize him for it. Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Beware! We used to pray this prayer during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: Then what prevents you now? He said: Occupation (busyness).
Hadith 2084
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((صَلُّوا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ))، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((صَلُّوا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ))، ثُمَّ قَالَ عِنْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ: ((لِمَنْ شَاءَ))، كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّةً
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah Muzani, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Perform two rak‘ahs before Maghrib. Then he said: Perform two rak‘ahs before Maghrib. When he said this a third time, he added: Whoever wishes, may perform them. This last statement was made so that people would not consider it an obligatory practice.
Hadith 2085
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، لِمَنْ شَاءَ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times: There is prayer between every two calls to prayer, for whoever wishes.
