كتاب الصلاة

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- عَنْ اَلنَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ: ‏"‏صَلُّوا قَبْلَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ, صَلُّوا قَبْلَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ " ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي اَلثَّالِثَةِ: " لِمَنْ شَاءَ " كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَهَا اَلنَّاسُ سُنَّةً‏"‏ رَوَاهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal al-Muzani (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) 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.
