Sahih al-Bukhari
كتاب التهجد
Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)
" صَلُّوا قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ "
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Pray before the Maghrib (compulsory) prayer." He (said it thrice) and in the third time, he said, "Whoever wants to offer it can do so." He said so because he did not like the people to take it as a tradition.
