Praying Before Maghrib Prayer During the Time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Anas offering two rak'ahs of prayer before the Maghrib prayer during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Prophet neither commanded nor forbade him from doing so.

Narrated Anas b. Malik : I offered two rak'ahs of prayer before the Maghrib prayer (ie obligatory) during the time of the Messenger of Allah . I (narrator al-Mukhtar b. Fulful) asked Anas: Did the Messenger of Allah se you ? He replied: Yes, but he neither commanded us nor forbade us (to do so).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْبَزَّازُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ أَرَآكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ رَآنَا فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا
