حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ : " أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَصَابُوا حُمُرًا ، فَطَبَخُوهَا ، فَنَادَى مُنَادِي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَكْفِئُوا الْقُدُورَ " .

Hadith Commentary:
This narration is extremely brief.
In another narration, there is some detail that on the day of Khaybar, hunger afflicted us, so people began slaughtering domestic donkeys and started cooking their meat.
During this, an announcer from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made an announcement: "Turn your pots upside down."

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From other narrations, it is established that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave this command. He said: (Sallu qabla salat al-maghrib) "And pray before the Maghrib prayer." (Bukhari)

Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
Two Rak‘ahs before Maghrib
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed two rak‘ahs before Maghrib, then said:
Perform two rak‘ahs before Maghrib. See: [مختصر قيام الليل للمقريزي ص64 وقال: هذا اسناد صحيح على شرط مسلم، آثار السنن: 694 وقال: و اسناده صحيح]
Then afterwards, he granted permission that whoever wishes may do so.
Therefore, it is understood that performing these rak‘ahs is permissible but not obligatory.
In contrast, in the narration in which it is mentioned that “Between the two calls (adhan and iqamah) of every prayer there are two rak‘ahs of supererogatory prayer (nafl), except for Maghrib.” [السنن الكبريٰ للبيهقي ج2 ص474]
Its chain is weak due to the confusion (ikhtilat) of Hayyan ibn ‘Ubaydullah.
For Hayyan’s confusion, see Kitab al-Du‘afa’ by al-‘Uqayli [ج1 ص319] and Lisan al-Mizan [ج2 ص370، دوسرانسخه ج2 ص702]
It is incorrect to abrogate a sound (sahih) hadith with a weak narration.
It is also established from the Companions (radi Allahu anhum) that they acted upon these rak‘ahs.
