Sunan Ibn Majah 1165 (Book 5, Hadith 363) #30517
Praying Two Rakah at Home

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed people to pray two Rakah in their homes after leading them in Maghrib prayer.

It was narrated that Rafi’ bin Khadij said: "We came to the Messenger of Allah with Banu 'Abdul-Ashhal, and he led us in praying the Maghrib in our mosque. Then he said: 'Pray these two Rak’ah in your houses.’"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فِي بَنِي عَبْدِ الأَشْهَلِ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْمَغْرِبَ فِي مَسْجِدِنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ ارْكَعُوا هَاتَيْنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer and how it should be done. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH led a group of people in praying the Maghrib prayer in their mosque and then instructed them to pray two additional rakahs at home. This teaches us that we should not only pray our obligatory prayers but also perform extra voluntary prayers as well. It also shows us that we can perform our prayers anywhere, even if it is just at home. We should strive to make sure that we are fulfilling our religious obligations and performing extra voluntary acts of worship whenever possible.
