[Machine] A man came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ while he was giving a sermon and asked, "Did you pray the two units of prayer (rak'ah)?" The Prophet replied, "No." The man then said, "Then pray them." The Prophet instructed him to pray the two units of prayer. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that he liked to pray these two units of prayer when he entered his house.  

أحمد:١٤٩٠٦حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ أَصَلَّيْتَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ؟ فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ فَصَلِّهِمَا قَالَ وَكَانَ جَابِرٌ يَقُولُ إِنْ صَلَّى فِي بَيْتِهِ يُعْجِبُهُ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَهُمَا
