316. Abū Qatādah narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "When one of you comes to the Masjid, then let him perform two Rak'ah before sitting." (Ṣaḥīh)
He said: There are narrations on this topic from Jābir, Abū Umāmah, Abū Hurairah, Abū Dharr, and Ka'b bin Mālik.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Abū Qatādah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth.
Muḥammad bin 'Ajlān and others have narrated this Ḥadīth from 'Āmir bin 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair, and it is similar to narration of Mālik bin Anas. (Who narrated it from 'Āmir.)
Suhail bin Abī Ṣāliḥ reported this Ḥadīth from 'Āmir bin 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair, from 'Amr bin Sulaim, from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ.
But this Ḥadīth is not preserved, and what is correct is the Ḥadīth of Abū Qatādah.
This Ḥadīth is acted upon according to our companions: They
consider it recommended when a man enters the Masjid that he not sit until he offers two Rak'ah of Ṣalāt, unless he has some excuse.
‘Alī bin Al-Madīnī said: “The Ḥadīth of Suhail bin Abī Sāliḥ is a mistake.” Ishāq bin Ibrāhīm informed me of that from ‘Alī bin Al-Madīnī.

Commentary
The demand of etiquettes and honor of the mosque is that when a person enters the mosque he should offer two Rak'ah prayer before sitting; if one mistakenly sits he should get up and do it, but according to the four A'immah this commandment is on the basis of desirability. [Fath Al-Bārī: 1/696]
