Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي فَزَارَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا عَنْ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ قَالَ كُنَّا نَبْتَدِرُهُمَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدُ وَسَأَلْتُهُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ فَقَالَ كُنَّا نَبْتَدِرُهُمَا وَلَمْ يَقُلْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Abu Fazarah said: I asked Anas about the two rak'ahs before Maghrib. He said: "We used to rush to perform them during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)." Shu'bah said: Then he later asked him several more times, and Anas said: "We used to rush to perform them" - without saying: "during the time of the Messenger of Allah."
