Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the muezzin would give the call to prayer, the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would get up and rush towards the pillars, so much so that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come, they would still be performing the two rak‘ahs before Maghrib, even though there was not much interval between the adhan and the iqamah.
