Ve aleykum selam verahmatullahi vebarakatuhu… My dear brother, yes, it is recommended for the bride and groom to pray two rakats before the wedding night… The deeds of the companions are also our deeds…
“The Prayer of the Spouses (or Husbands) on the Wedding Night:
On the wedding night, it is recommended for the bride and groom to pray two rakats together. Although there is no hadith regarding this matter that is narrated from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), there are two narrations narrated from the Companions:
1- Abu Said (ra), who was the freed slave of Abu Useyd (ra), narrates as follows:
“When I got married while I was a slave, I invited some of the companions, including Ibn Mas'ud, Abu Dharr and Huzaifa.
When the time for prayer came, Abu Dharr wanted to be the imam, and the other companions said:
They said, "O Abu Dharr! You stop."
Abu Dharr said, "Will the owner of the house be the imamate?"
and "I became their imam, even though I was a slave. After the prayer, they gave me advice about the wedding and said:
"Come, when you enter, pray two rakats. After you pray, ask Allah for the good of the person who comes to you and seek refuge in Him from his evil. After praying, do as you wish!"
(Ibn Abi Shayba, Abu Bakr Abdullah b. Muhammad b. Ibrahim al-Absi al-Kufi, Musannaf fi'l-eĥâdîŝ ve'l-âŝâr, VII. 50; Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, Isaba)
2- Shaqiq narrates as follows:
“A person named Abu Hariz came to Ibn Masud and said, “I am engaged to a virgin girl. But I am worried that she will not like me.”
Thereupon, Ibn Mas'ud gave him the following advice:
“Love is from Allah. Hatred is from Satan, who wants to make what Allah has made lawful for you unlawful. Therefore, when your wife comes to you, tell her to pray two rakats following you (in another narration) and pray as follows:
"Oh Allah! Make me blessed for my family and my family for me. Keep us together as long as it is good for us. Separate us when it is better for both of us to be separated."
(Tabarani, II. 21-23; Ibn Abi Shayba Abu Bakr Abdullah b. Muhammad b. Ibrahim al-Absi al-Kufi, VII. 50-60; Tabarani, al-Awsat, 2, 166.)
