Hadith 583
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا الْخَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَا تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيَّ قَامَ لِيَرْكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ ، فَقُلْتُ لِعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ : انْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا ، أَيَّ صَلَاةٍ يُصَلِّي ؟ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فَرَآهُ ، فَقَالَ : " هَذِهِ صَلَاةٌ كُنَّا نُصَلِّيهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
´It was narrated from Yazid bin Abi Habib that Abu Al-Khair told him:` "Abu Tamim Al-Jaishani stood up to pray two Rak'ahs before Maghrib, and I said to 'Uqbah bin 'Amir: 'Look at this man, what prayer is he praying?' He turned and looked at him, and said: 'This is a prayer that we used to pray at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).'"

583. Commentary:
➊ These two rak‘ahs are referred to as the Sunnahs before the Maghrib prayer. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to encourage them, and the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) used to perform them frequently. However, due to the shortness of time, they gradually became neglected, which is why Abu’l-Khayr was surprised. May Allah keep the hadith scholars and the Ahl al-Hadith fresh (i.e., alive and active), for they revive neglected Sunnahs. The Hanafis, without any valid reason, oppose these Sunnahs, claiming that performing them would delay the congregational prayer, whereas what difference would two light rak‘ahs make? In fact, it brings the benefit of increasing the congregation. In Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: «بین کل اذانین صلاۃ» [صحیح البخاري ، الأذان ، حدیث : 624 ، وصحیح مسلم ، صلاة المسافرین ، حدیث : 838]
“There is a prayer between every adhan and iqamah.” And he said: «صلوا قبل صلاة المغرب» [صحیح البخاري ، التھجد ، حدیث : 1183]
“Pray before Maghrib prayer.” This is a narration from Sahih al-Bukhari—what more is needed? For further details, see the introduction of this very book.
