Sunan Abi Dawud 1281 (Book 5, Hadith 32) #21573
Praying Two Rak'ahs Before Maghrib Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged people to pray two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer, but warned them not to make it a sunnah.

Narrated 'Abd Allah al-Muzani: The Messenger of Allah said: Pray two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer. He then said (again): Pray two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer, it applies to those who wish to do so. That was because he feared that the people might treat it as sunnah.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ صَلُّوا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ صَلُّوا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لِمَنْ شَاءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّةً

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray two rak’ahs before the maghrib prayer as an act of worship and devotion towards God .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Abd Allah al-Muzani tells us that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged people to pray two rak’ahs before the maghrib prayer. He wanted people to do this as an act of worship and devotion towards God. However, he also warned them not to make it a sunnah or something that is obligatory for everyone. This is because he wanted people to do this out of their own free will and not because they felt obligated or forced into doing so. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for voluntary acts of worship and devotion towards God instead of feeling obligated or forced into doing something just because someone else said so.
