4⃣عَنْ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ الْخَفَّافِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّی الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ عَقَّبَ وَ لَمْ یَتَکَلَّمْ حَتَّی یُصَلِّیَ رَکْعَتَیْنِ کُتِبَتَا لَهُ فِی عِلِّیِّینَ فَإِنْ صَلَّی أَرْبَعاً کُتِبَتْ لَهُ حَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ.

📚 Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 2, p. 113

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: 'Whoever performs Maghrib prayer, then does the recommended acts (tahiyyat) and speaks nothing (except for dhikr) until they perform two rak'ahs, these two rak'ahs will be written in `Aliyyin (the highest place in Paradise). And if they perform four rak'ahs, one accepted Hajj will be written for them!'

5⃣عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ وَقْتِ الْمَغْرِبِ قَالَ مَا بَیْنَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَی سُقُوطِ الشَّفَقِ.

📚 Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 2, p. 258

Ismail bin Jaber says: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about the time of Maghrib prayer; Imam said: 'Between sunset and the disappearance of the red twilight (hommara al-maghrebiya)!'

6⃣عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ یَقُولُ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَا یُصَلِّی مِنَ النَّهَارِ شَیْئاً حَتَّی تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ..... وَ صَلَّی الْمَغْرِبَ حِینَ تَغِیبُ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا غَابَ الشَّفَقُ دَخَلَ وَقْتُ الْعِشَاءِ وَ آخِرُ وَقْتِ الْمَغْرِبِ إِیَابُ الشَّفَقِ فَإِذَا آبَ الشَّفَقُ دَخَلَ وَقْتُ الْعِشَاءِ.....

📚 Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 2, p. 262

Zurarah says: I heard Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) say: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not perform the prayer during the day until the sun had passed its zenith.... Until he said: And he performed Maghrib prayer when the sun set. When the red twilight (hommara al-maghrebiya) disappeared, the time for Isha' prayer enters, and the end time for Maghrib prayer is when the red color fades.'

✅ Based on the above narrations and others, the Nafl of Maghrib consists of four rak'ahs, which are two sets of two rak'ahs. The start time is immediately after the Maghrib prayer, and since the end time of Maghrib prayer is when the red twilight disappears, the end time for Nafl Maghrib also ends with the conclusion of the first time of Maghrib prayer.

Therefore, the time frame for performing the Nafl prayers of Maghrib is from after Maghrib prayer until the disappearance of the red twilight in the west.

✅ However, there are narrations that allow the performance of Nafl prayers outside of its prescribed time, though it is considered qada' (missed).

✅ The above narrations recommend performing the Nafl of Maghrib after the Maghrib prayer and its recommended acts, and before speaking anything other than the divine dhikr.
