Explanation of the author's statement: "… and it is recommended to hasten it…"

The Shaykh : The author says "and it is recommended to hasten it". It is recommended to hasten the Maghrib prayer because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray it when it became obligatory, meaning when the sun set. So one should rush to perform it. However, rushing does not mean that one should call the adhan and iqamah immediately. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said He said this three times, and then in the third instance he said . The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to stand up and pray when the Maghrib adhan was called. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw them doing this and did not forbid them. This indicates that the meaning of hastening is not that a person should rush immediately from the time of the adhan, but rather that he should not delay by the amount of time it takes to perform wudu, the rawatib, or similar things.
