Is the hadith: (Between every two adhan there is a prayer) specific to the Maghrib prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, does Anas's second hadith specify the generality of Abdullah ibn al-Mughaffal's hadith?
The Shaykh : Is it that one?
The questioner : The first one is "Between every two adhan there is a prayer," and the Companions used to do this in the past, as in Anas's hadith.
The Shaykh : No, it does not specify; the original rule is generality. And we have this clearly, for example, Fajr.
The questioner : There is a sunnah before it.
The Shaykh : There is a sunnah before it, and Zuhr.
The questioner : likewise
The Shaykh : There is a sunnah before it as well. As for 'Asr, it is in the hadith: although there is some consideration regarding it. Maghrib is like this, and 'Isha' is like this, so it is said "between every two adhan." As for the statement "Pray before Maghrib," it is as we mentioned a little while ago in the first lesson that mentioning some instances of a general ruling with a ruling that agrees with the general does not indicate specification.
The questioner : But Shaykh, the fact that it was transmitted regarding Maghrib and not transmitted regarding 'Isha' as to the Companions' action, for example.
The Shaykh : Yes, it does not indicate that they did not do it; it does not indicate that they did not do it. The absence of transmission is not a transmission of absence. As long as there is a general hadith that "between every two adhan there is a prayer," perhaps in Maghrib there is some light, so one can identify the location of the pillar and pray behind it.

May Allah have mercy on a person who prays four rak'ahs before 'Asr.
