حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي بَيْتِهِ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ .
`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray two rak'ahs in his house after the Friday prayer. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted in a similar way by 'Abd Allah b. Dinar from Ibn 'Umar.

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1132
This hadith about the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم praying two rak'ahs after Friday prayer is simple and clear. Abdullah ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to pray two rak'ahs in his house after the Friday prayer. Abu Dawud also notes that a similar report came from Abdullah b. Dinar from Ibn Umar. For people searching “two rakah after Jumuah hadith” or “Prophet prayed Sunnah after Friday at home,” this narration gives the main wording they need. The hadith does not say these two rak'ahs were prayed in the mosque. It says they were prayed in his house, so the explanation should stay with that point.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم prayed two rak'ahs after Friday prayer.
- The report states that he prayed them in his house.
- Ibn Umar is the narrator of this practice.
- The hadith supports keeping the after-Jumu'ah prayer distinct from the Friday prayer itself.
