Question:
A hadith was mentioned, Honorable Shaykh. The Companions used to rush to the pillars at Maghrib. What is the ruling on praying in that interval?

Answer:
Yes, this indicates that when the sun sets, they would rush to the pillars to pray a voluntary prayer before Maghrib. This is evidence for the prescription of praying the voluntary prayer before Maghrib. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Pray before Maghrib, pray before Maghrib" then he said at the third time, "Whoever wishes (to)"صلوا قبل المغرب، صلوا قبل المغرب، صلوا قبل المغرب، ثم قال في الرابعة لمن شاء،
Bulugh al-Maram 2:264
