Sahih al-Bukhari 1184 (Book 19, Hadith 61) #1140
Offering Two Rak'at Before Maghrib Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about how the companions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to offer two rak'at before the Maghrib prayer, and how one of them was prevented from doing so due to his business.

Narrated Marthad bin 'Abdullah Al-Yazni: I went to 'Uqba bin 'Amir Al-Juhani and said, "Is it not surprising that Abi Tamim offers two rak'at before the Maghrib prayer?" 'Uqba said, "We used to do so in the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ". I asked him, "What prevents you from offering it now?" He replied, "Business".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَرْثَدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِيَّ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ فَقُلْتُ أَلاَ أُعْجِبُكَ مِنْ أَبِي تَمِيمٍ يَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُقْبَةُ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُهُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ الآنَ قَالَ الشُّغْلُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of offering two rak’ats before the maghrib prayer. It was narrated by Marthad bin 'Abdullah Al-Yazni who went to Uqba bin 'Amir Al-Juhani and asked him why he wasn't offering two rak’ats before maghrib prayer like they used to do in Prophet Muhammad's lifetime. Uqba replied that he was busy with his business which prevented him from doing so. This hadith teaches us that we should prioritize our religious obligations over worldly matters, even if it means sacrificing some time or money for it. We should also remember that Allah will reward us for every good deed we do, no matter how small it may be.
