The ruling on praying two rak'ahs after the Maghrib adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He was asked about praying after the Maghrib adhan and before the prayer. He answered: Bilal, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded him, used to separate his adhan and iqamah by a sufficient interval to allow for two rak'ahs. So some of the Companions would pray two rak'ahs between the two adhans, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would see them and approve of them. He said, "Between every two adhans there is a prayer,"Sahih al-Bukhari 627 fearing that it would be taken as a sunnah. So if the mu'adhdhin separates the two adhans by that amount, this prayer is good. But if he connects the adhan directly to the iqamah, then engaging in responding to the mu'adhdhin is the sunnah. For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Sunan an-Nasa'i 678Sahih (Darussalam), and one prays these two rak'ahs. The sunnah for the one who hears the mu'adhdhin is to say what he says, then to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and say, "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call," to the end of it, then to make du'a' after that. And I was asked.
Answer:
And it is the sunnah, the sunnah is not to hasten. When the Maghrib adhan is called, one does not hasten until the people gather. The sunnah is that they pray two rak'ahs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,Riyad as-Salihin 1099, and in the other wording, Bulugh al-Maram 2:264. And the Companions, when the adhan was called, would hasten to pray two rak'ahs after the Maghrib adhan, and then the prayer would be established after that. This is the sunnah. The sunnah is not to hasten after the adhan, but to delay slightly until the people gather and those in the mosque pray two rak'ahs. This is what is best. Yes.

There is a prayer between the two Adhans (Adhan and Iqama), there is a prayer between the two Adhans." And then while saying it the third time he added, "For the one who wants to (pray).
بين كل أذانين صلاة، بين كل أذانين صلاة، ثم قال في الثالثة لمن شاءWhen you hear the Mu'adhdhin then say what he says
إذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثل ما يقولAnswer:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "There is a Salat (prayer) between every Adhan and Iqamah; there is a Salat between every Adhan and Iqamah.
صلى الله عليه وسلم بين كل أذان صلاة، بين كل أذان صلاة،"Pray before Maghrib, pray before Maghrib" then he said at the third time, "Whoever wishes (to)"
صلوا قبل المغرب، صلوا قبل المغرب، ثم قال في الثالث من شاء
