Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we used to perform two Rak'ah (optional prayer) after sunset before the Maghrib prayer. It was asked: "Did Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) perform them?" He replied: "He saw us performing it, but he neither ordered us to perform them nor did he forbid us from doing so.".
