حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الرِّفَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِدْبَارُ النُّجُومِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَإِدْبَارُ السُّجُودِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مَرْفُوعًا إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَرِشْدِينَ ابْنَىْ كُرَيْبٍ أَيُّهُمَا أَوْثَقُ قَالَ مَا أَقْرَبَهُمَا وَمُحَمَّدٌ عِنْدِي أَرْجَحُ . قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ مَا أَقْرَبَهُمَا عِنْدِي وَرِشْدِينُ بْنُ كُرَيْبٍ أَرْجَحُهُمَا عِنْدِي . قَالَ وَالْقَوْلُ عِنْدِي مَا قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ وَرِشْدِينُ أَرْجَحُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَقْدَمُ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ رِشْدِينُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَرَآهُ .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Prophet (ﷺ) Said: "And At The Setting Of The Stars (52:49) (About) The Two Rak'Ah Before Fajr. And After The Prostrations (50:40) 'The Two Rak'At After Al-Maghrib.'"

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3275
This hadith about two rak’ah before Fajr and after Maghrib explains two Qur’anic phrases as connected to prayer. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that “at the setting of the stars” refers to the two rak’ah before Fajr, and “after the prostrations” refers to the two rak’ah after Al-Maghrib. The hadith is focused on identifying these two prayer times through the wording of the verses. It does not list all voluntary prayers or discuss their full rulings. So the safe explanation is simple: the narration points to two specific prayers, one before Fajr and one after Maghrib. It encourages the reader to notice how the Sunnah explains parts of the Qur’an and links worship to daily times.

- The narration connects “setting of the stars” with two rak’ah before Fajr.
- It connects “after the prostrations” with two rak’ah after Maghrib.
