Is there anything in the Sunnah known as the pre-Friday prayer?

The questioner : After the Friday prayer, is there a prescribed prayer or not?

The Shaykh : After the obligatory Friday prayer?

The questioner : No, not between the adhan and the iqamah.

The Shaykh : I mean, what they call the pre-Friday prayer has no basis.

The questioner : It has no basis.

The Shaykh : No, rather the Sunnah is when a man enters the mosque on Friday.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : He prays at least two rak'ahs.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : These are the greeting of the mosque. Then, if he has energy and is free, he increases his voluntary prayer as much as he can. When the imam ascends the pulpit, he stops the prayer, meaning he ends it with the minimum possible. This is what is prescribed and what our righteous predecessors were upon. As for the Sunnah of two or four rak'ahs between two adhan, this Sunnah has no basis, because originally there is only one adhan on Friday.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : And this single adhan was when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would ascend the pulpit, the mu'adhdhin would call the adhan, so there was no room for such a Sunnah. But before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit, and before the mu'adhdhin's adhan, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on the pulpit, the one who entered would pray, as we told you, whatever was easy for him: two, four, six, and so on. This is the Sunnah.

The questioner: May Allah reward you with every good, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : Welcome.

The questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
