The Sunnah of the Maghrib prayer before and after

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks and says: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pray two rak'ahs before Maghrib, or after the prayer?

Answer:
It is well known of him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to pray two rak'ahs after Maghrib as a regular voluntary prayer, and it is narrated from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he prayed two rak'ahs before Maghrib, as reported by Ibn Hibban. However, what is famous of him (peace and blessings be upon him) is the prayer of two rak'ahs after Maghrib. This is established from him in the two Sahihs and others.
It is also established from the Companions that they performed it by his command (peace and blessings be upon him) and his approval. The Companions used to pray two rak'ahs while he was looking at them. He commanded them by saying:
Pray before Maghrib, pray before Maghribصلوا قبل المغرب، صلوا قبل المغرب
Bulugh al-Maram 2:264
Then he said regarding the third:
for whoever wishesلمن شاء
So they used to do it while he was looking at them (peace and blessings be upon him). This indicates that it is a Sunnah after the adhan. Thus, it is established from his words and his approval; it is established from his words and his approval.
As for his action, it is a matter of consideration, even if Ibn Hibban graded it as authentic, but it is a matter of consideration. However, it is established from his words, his saying:
Pray before Maghribصلوا قبل المغرب
and from his approval of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
