1162 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، وَوَكِيعٌ، عَنْ كَهْمَسٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ» قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا. قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ: «لِمَنْ شَاءَ»

Commentary
What clearly transpires from the Hadith is the fact that there is a prayer to be performed after each Adhân, be it for Zuhr, 'Asr', 'Tshâ' or Fajr. Similarly, there are Rak'ah between the Adhân and the obligatory prayer for Maghrib as well. And as already explained, the number of Rak'ah in this prayer is two. However, in light of the Prophet's own blessed words, these Rak'ah are not emphatically enjoined ones, since the Prophet ﷺ has made them optional by saying: 'For those who wish'.
