Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal al-Muzani (RA): The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Pray before Maghrib, pray before Maghrib" then he said at the third time, "Whoever wishes (to)". He said so, because he did not like the people to take it as a Sunnah. [Reported by al-Bukhari] . And in the narration of Ibn Hibban: "The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) prayed two Rak'at before the Maghrib (prayer)." Muslim has reported from Anas (RA) that he said, "We used to pray two Rak'at after sunset and the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to see us, but he neither commanded nor forbade us."
