Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Between every two calls to prayer (adhan and iqamah) there is a prayer, between every two calls to prayer there is a prayer, between every two calls to prayer there is a prayer." In the end, he said: "Between every two calls to prayer, whoever wishes may offer a prayer." Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Do you also say that two rak‘ahs should be offered before Maghrib? He said: Yes, I also say this.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when the muezzin would call the adhan for Maghrib, the chosen companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would rush towards the pillars. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come out, they would be performing (the Sunnah prayers). He said: And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would rarely wait.
