حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يُطِيلُ الصَّلاَةَ قَبْلَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَيُصَلِّي بَعْدَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَيُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ .

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1128
This hadith about prayer before and after Friday prayer reports what Ibn Umar used to do and what he said about the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Nafi' said Ibn Umar would lengthen his prayer before Jumu'ah and then offer two rak'ahs after it in his house. He would say that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to do that. For people searching “prayer before Jumuah hadith” or “two rakah after Friday prayer at home,” this narration joins both points in one report. The text does not explain how long the prayer before Jumu'ah was or give a fixed number for it here. It simply reports lengthening prayer before Friday and praying two rak'ahs at home afterward.
What we learn from this hadith
- Ibn Umar lengthened prayer before the Friday prayer.
- He prayed two rak'ahs at home after Jumu'ah.
- He reported that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to do that.
- The hadith keeps the before and after practices distinct.
