❀ Two Rak'ahs Before the Maghrib Prayer
It is recommended to perform these two Rak'ahs, as it is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Mughaffal رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
"صَلُّوا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: صَلُّوا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ عِنْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ: لِمَنْ شَاءَ"
“Pray two Rak'ahs before Maghrib, then he said: Pray two Rak'ahs before Maghrib, and at the third time he said: ‘For whoever wishes.’”
[Bukhari: 7368, 1183, Kitab al-Jumu’ah: Bab al-Salat Qabl al-Maghrib; Abu Dawud: 1281; Bayhaqi: 2/474; Ibn Khuzaymah: 1289]
