Hadith 522

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْجُمُعَةَ انْصَرَفَ فَصَلَّى سَجْدَتَيْنِ فِي بَيْتِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Nafi narrated about Ibn Umar:` "When he prayed the Friday prayer, he left and prayed two prostrations (Rak'ah) in his house. Then he said: 'Allah's Messenger would do this.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1127. Commentary:
➊ After the obligatory prayers, one should not perform voluntary (nafl) prayers immediately at the same place; rather, one should change location, or create an interval through conversation with someone or by engaging in remembrance (adhkar).
➋ After Jumu‘ah, it is Sunnah to go home and perform two rak‘ahs.
➌ It is the responsibility of the scholars to fulfill the duty of enjoining good and forbidding evil (amr bil-ma‘ruf wa nahi ‘anil-munkar) with courage. However, for this great objective, it is necessary that before exhorting others, one proves oneself worthy of it—that is, one should align one’s own character, conduct, and actions with the purified Sunnah.

Benefit:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to perform voluntary prayers (nafl) and Sunnah prayers at home.
However, it is also permissible to perform Sunnah prayers in the mosque.
