Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you performs the Friday prayer, he should perform four Rak'ah (Sunnah) after it." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
إذا صلى أحدكم الجمعة، فليصلِ بعدها أربعًا
. ((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) The Friday prayer has no Rawātib Sunnah before it like the Zhuhr prayer, because the rulings on the Zhuhr prayer do not apply by analogy to the Friday prayer.<br>
2) The Sunnah after the Friday prayer is authentically reported as two or four Rak‘ahs. As deduced from the relevant Hadiths, he who offers the Sunnah of the Friday prayer in the mosque ought to offer four Rak‘ahs, and if he prays it at home, he ought to offer it as two Rak‘ahs.
