Hadith 4226

حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : " أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ خَيْبَرَ أَنْ نُلْقِيَ الْحُمُرَ الْأَهْلِيَّةَ نِيئَةً وَنَضِيجَةً ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا بِأَكْلِهِ بَعْدُ " .
Narrated Al-Bara Bin Azib: During the Ghazwa of Khaibar, the Prophet ordered us to throw away the meat of the donkeys whether it was still raw or cooked. He did not allow us to eat it later on.

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.
