وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ وَصَفَ تَطَوُّعَ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فَكَانَ لاَ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي بَيْتِهِ . قَالَ يَحْيَى أَظُنُّنِي قَرَأْتُ فَيُصَلِّي أَوْ أَلْبَتَّةَ .
`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:
Abdullah b. 'Umar, while describing the Nafl prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), said: He did not observe (Nafl) prayer after Jumu'a till he went back and observed two rak'ahs in his house. Yahya said: I guess that I uttered these words (before Imam Malik) that he of course observed (them).

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 882b
This narration explains the Nafl prayer of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم after Jumu'a as described by Abdullah ibn Umar. It says that he did not observe Nafl prayer after Jumu'a until he went back, and then he prayed two rak'ahs in his house.

It also includes a note from Yahya about the exact wording he read, which shows care in reporting. For people searching for post-Jumu'a Sunnah at home, this hadith directly mentions two rak'ahs after returning. The place mentioned here is his house.
