Hadith 1165
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ، فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْمَغْرِبَ فِي مَسْجِدِنَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " ارْكَعُوا هَاتَيْنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ " .
´It was narrated that Rafi’ bin Khadij said:` “We came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with Banu ‘Abdul-Ashhal, and he led us in praying the Maghrib in our mosque. Then he said: ‘Pray these two Rak’ah in your houses.’”
Brief Explanation
1؎ : From this hadith it is understood that performing the Sunnah prayers at home is superior, because it protects one from showing off and ostentation, and brings blessings into the home. It is unfortunate that in our time people have abandoned this Sunnah, and perform the Sunnah prayers in the mosque itself. After Jumu‘ah, not even one percent can be seen who goes home to perform the Sunnah prayers, as was the practice of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

➋
When a great scholar arrives at the mosque, the imam of the mosque should give him the opportunity to lead the prayer.
➌
It is preferable to offer the Sunnah (supererogatory) prayers at home. However, some ahadith indicate that it is also permissible to offer them in the mosque.
