The Sunnah after the Maghrib prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: We pray Maghrib with three obligatory rak'ahs, followed by six rak'ahs of Sunnah ?
Vol. 3: The sunnah after the Maghrib prayer is for the Muslim to pray two rak'ahs, as this is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It was narrated from Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
No Muslim servant who prays for Allah the Exalted twelve rak'ahs of voluntary prayer, other than the obligatory ones, in each day and night, will Allah the Exalted not build for him a house in Paradise: four before the midday prayer, and two after it, two after the sunset prayer, two after the night prayer, and two before the dawn prayerما من عبد مسلم يصلي لله تعالى في كل يوم ثنتي عشرة ركعة تطوعًا غير فريضة إلا بنى الله تعالى له بيتًا في الجنة: أربعًا قبل الظهر، وركعتين بعدها، وركعتين بعد المغرب، وركعتين بعد العشاء، وركعتين قبل الفجر
, and as for committing to six
rak'ahs as a regular practice after Maghrib, that is not part of the Sunnah.
