performed two Rak`ah prayer behind them. A stranger coming into the mosque would think that the obligatory
prayer had already been performed because of the number of people performing them
.
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith shows that it was usual with the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) to perform two
Rak`ah before Maghrib in the Prophet's mosque. But in spite of this fact these are Sunnah Ghair Mu'akkadah while
the two performed after the Salat are Sunnah Mu'akkadah.
