English translation

1127. It was reported from Ayyūb, from Nāfi‘ that Ibn ‘Umar once saw a man praying two Rak’ahs after the Friday prayer, in the same place that he had prayed (the Friday prayer). So he prevented him and said: “Are you praying the Friday prayer as if it is four Rak’ahs?” And ‘Abdullāh (bin ‘Umar) would pray two Rak’ah in his house on Friday, and say: “This is what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to do.” (Sahih) One should not perform voluntary prayers on the same place one has performed the obligatory prayer. Changing one’s place, or conversing with someone, or saying any remembrance formula will suffice to constitute a break between the two prayers and keep them distinct from each other. Offering two Rak'ahs in one's house on Fridays is Sunnah.

1127 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَأَى رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي مَقَامِهِ، فَدَفَعَهُ، وَقَالَ: أَتُصَلِّي الْجُمُعَةَ أَرْبَعًا؟ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَيَقُولُ: «هَكَذَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»

    [1] “Apartment” or Hujrah; its meaning is not clear in this narration so it has been translated in the more general way. In one of the narrations recorded by Al-Bukhārī it mentions that its wall was short, and they could see him beyond it. For this reason and others, Al-Ḥāfiz Ibn Ḥajar said that this Hujrah in this narration may refer to an occasion when he was performing the voluntary night prayer inside the Masjid, and he would make some sort of temporary structure with “walls” using palm-reed mats, to temporarily section off the area in which he was praying.
