I went to ʿUqba bin 'Amir Al-Juhani and said, "Is it not surprising that Abi Tamim offers two rakʿat before the Maghrib prayer?" ʿUqba said, "We used to do so in the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ." I asked him, "What prevents you from offering it now?" He replied, "Business."

عُقْبَةُ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ الآنَ قَالَ الشُّغْلُ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «صَلُّوا قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ». قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ: «لِمَنْ شَاءَ»، كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّةً.
