حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ صَلُّوا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ‏"‏ . ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ صَلُّوا قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لِمَنْ شَاءَ ‏"‏ . خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّةً .

English translation
Narrated 'Abd Allah al-Muzani: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Pray two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer. He then said (again): Pray two rak'ahs before the Maghrib prayer, it applies to those who wish to do so. That was because he feared that the people might treat it as sunnah
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। ‘আবদুল্লাহ আল-মুযানী (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রসুলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমরা মাগরিবের পূর্বে দু’ রাক‘আত সালাত আদায় করো। তিনি দু’ বার এরূপ বললেন। অতঃপর বললেন, যার ইচ্ছা হয়। এ আশংকায় যে, লোকেরা হয়ত এটাকে সুন্নাত (বা স্থায়ী নিয়ম) বানিয়ে নিবে। সহীহ : বুখারী।
