حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلاَةٌ لِمَنْ شَاءَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَلَمْ يَرَ بَعْضُهُمُ الصَّلاَةَ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ الأَذَانِ وَالإِقَامَةِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ إِنْ صَلاَّهُمَا فَحَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا عِنْدَهُمَا عَلَى الاِسْتِحْبَابِ ‏.‏

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Hannād narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us, from Kahmas ibn al-Ḥasan, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Buraydah, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mughaffal, from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: “Between each pair of calls [the adhān and iqāmah] there is a prayer, for whoever wishes.” There is also a report on this topic from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Zubayr. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mughaffal is hasan sahih. The Prophet’s Companions differed about praying before Maghrib; some did not consider there to be a prayer before Maghrib. It has been reported from more than one Companion that they used to pray two rakʿahs before Maghrib, between the adhān and iqāmah. Aḥmad and Isḥāq said: If one prays them, that is good; in their view, this is recommended.

  • ‏ وَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَلَمْ يَرَ بَعْضُهُمُ الصَّلاَةَ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ ‏.

    The compiler records disagreement about voluntary prayer before Maghrib, then notes that Aḥmad and Isḥāq considered it recommended rather than obligatory.
