Praying Sunnah after the Friday Prayer (Salah)




Abu Hurairah (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If anyone of you performs the Friday prayer, he should perform four Rak`ah (Sunnah) after it.''

[Muslim] Riyad-us-Saliheen – Hadith No: 1126.


Ibn `Umar (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported: the Prophet ﷺ would not perform any Salat (in the mosque) after the Friday prayer till he had returned to his house. He would then perform two Rak`ah there.

[Muslim] Riyad-us-Saliheen – Hadith No: 1127.


Commentary:
In one Hadith, there is mention of four Rak`ah, while in the other it is mentioned as two Rak`ah. It can be deduced that both of these are acceptable. `Ulama' are of the opinion that one who performs them in the mosque, should perform four Rak`ah; whereas the one performing them at home, should perform two Rak`ah with one Taslim. It is better to perform them in twos as the Prophet (PBUH) is reported to have said, "Perform the Nawafil of the day and night in twos.'' (Al-Bukhari).
