The Lawfulness of Praying Two Rak'ahs After the Adhan of Maghrib

Question:
What is the evidence for praying two rak'ahs after the adhan of Maghrib, and before the iqamah of the prayer, if there is any evidence?

Answer:
Yes, it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Sahih Muslim, in the hadith of 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir, who said: "We used to pray two rak'ahs before the iqamah in Maghrib. He said: We used to pray them in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), two rak'ahs after the adhan and before the prayer." And it is also established in Sahih Muslim from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: "The Companions used to pray two rak'ahs after the sun had set and before the prayer, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would see them, but he did not order them to do so, nor did he forbid them."
And it is established in Sahih al-Bukhari that he ordered them, saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Then he said in the third: so that they would know that it is not obligatory. All these authentic hadiths indicate the lawfulness of praying before the obligatory prayer in Maghrib, meaning: after the adhan, after the sun has set, and before the prayer is established. This is established from the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and from his approval; he approved the Companions in that, and he ordered it (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
