حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ كَهْمَسِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلاَةٌ لِمَنْ شَاءَ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الصَّلاَةِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَلَمْ يَرَ بَعْضُهُمُ الصَّلاَةَ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ الأَذَانِ وَالإِقَامَةِ . وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ إِنْ صَلاَّهُمَا فَحَسَنٌ . وَهَذَا عِنْدَهُمَا عَلَى الاِسْتِحْبَابِ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 185
This Hadith teaches a simple Sunnah opportunity. Abdullah bin Mughaffal narrated that the Prophet said there is a Salat between every two calls to prayer for whoever wills. In this text, the two calls refer to the Adhan and Iqamah, and the wording also keeps the matter open by saying for whoever wills. This makes it helpful for searches like prayer between Adhan and Iqamah, nafl before Maghrib, and Hadith between two calls. The added notes mention discussion about prayer before Maghrib, and that some Companions prayed two Rak'ah between the Adhan and Iqamah of Maghrib. The teaching stays gentle: it is a chance for extra prayer, not a forced act in the wording.
What we learn from this hadith
- There is room for voluntary prayer between the Adhan and Iqamah.
- The phrase for whoever wills shows this prayer is not described as compulsory here.
- The Hadith encourages using short waiting times for worship.
- The report connects this teaching with the time before Maghrib as well.
