وَفِي رِوَايَةِ اِبْنِ حِبَّانَ : { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-صَلَّى قَبْلَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ } 1‏

‏1 ‏- صحيح ، رواه ابن حبان ( 1588 )‏ ، وتمامه : ثم قال : " صلوا قبل المغرب ركعتين " ثم قال عند الثالثة : " لمن شاء " خاف أن يحسبها الناس سنة.‏

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When you get up to pray, perform ablution perfectly, then face the Qiblah and say: 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Most Great). Then recite a convenient portion of the Qur'an; then bow and remain calmly in that position for a moment, then rise up and stand erect; then prostrate and remain calmly in that position for a moment, then rise up and sit calmly, then prostrate and remain calmly in that position for a moment; then do that throughout your prayer."[Reported by as-Sab'a and the wording is that of al-Bukhari].
