باب استحباب جعل النوافل في البيت سواء الراتبة وغيرها، والأمر بالتحول للنافلة من موضع الفريضة أو الفصل بينهما بكلام
This chapter encourages offering voluntary prayers at home rather than always at the mosque, and it touches on separating an extra prayer from the obligatory one just finished.
The hadith warn against leaving our homes empty of worship, like lifeless graves, and promise that prayer at home brings blessing into it. There is also guidance not to join a voluntary prayer straight onto the congregational one without first speaking or moving. The thread is filling our homes with devotion and giving each prayer its own space.
Hadith 1128
Zaid bin Thabit (May Allah be pleased with him)reported:
عن زيد بن ثابت رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "صلوا أيها الناس في بيوتكم، فإن الصلاة صلاة المرء في بيته إلا المكتوبة" . ((متفق عليه))
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O people! perform your (voluntary) Salat (prayers) in your homes because the best Salat of a man is the one he performs at home, except the obligatory Salat." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
In plain words
The Prophet taught that the best of a person's voluntary prayers is the one offered at home, while the obligatory prayers belong in congregation. An encouragement to keep private worship alive at home.

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him)reported:
وعن جابر رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : "إذا قضى أحدكم صلاته في مسجده، فليجعل لبيته نصيبًا من صلاته، فإن الله جاعل في بيته صلاته خيرًا" . ((رواه مسلم)).
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When you have finished your (Fard) Salat (prayer) in the mosque, you should observe some of your (Sunnah and Nawafil) Salat at home; Allah will bless your homes because of your Salat (in your homes)." [Muslim]
In plain words
After finishing the obligatory prayer at the mosque, the Prophet said, offer some voluntary prayer at home, and Allah will bless the home because of it. Worship brings blessing into the place where we live.

Hadith 1131
'Umar bin 'Ata reported that Nafi' bin Jubair sent him to Sa'ib bin Ukht Namir to ask him about something that Mu'awiyah had seen him doing in Salat (prayer). He said:
وعن عمر بن عطاء أن نافع بن جبير أرسله إلى السائب ابن أخت نمر يسأله عن شيء رآه منه معاوية في الصلاة فقال: نعم صليت معه الجمعة في المقصورة، فلما سلم الإمام، قمت في مقامي، فصليت فلما دخل أرسل إلي فقال: لا تعد لما فعلت: إذا صليت الجمعة فلا تصلها بصلاة حتى تتكلم أو تخرج، فإن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أمرنا بذلك أن لا نوصل صلاة بصلاة حتى نتكلم أو نخرج. ((رواه مسلم)).
"Yes, I performed the Friday prayer along with him in the enclosure (Maqsurah), and when the Imam concluded the Salat with Taslim, I stood up in my place and performed the Sunnah prayer. When Mu'awiyah went home, he sent for me (and when I came) he said: "Never do again what you have done. When you have observed the Friday prayer, you must not start another Sunnah prayer till you have spoken to some one or have shifted your place; because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered us not to follow up the congregational Salat with any other Salat until we have talked (to some one) or moved from the place." [Muslim].
In plain words
Mu'awiyah corrected a man who began a voluntary prayer right after the Friday prayer in the same spot, explaining that the Prophet told them not to join an extra prayer onto the congregational one until they had spoken to someone or moved from the place.
