In the name of Allah Most compassionate Merciful
The actual hadith which excludes the magrib prayer is as mentioned in Imdad al-Fattah as follows:
It is disliked to perform the nafl before the fard of magrib. It is mentioned in Mi'raj al-dirayah: One cannot perform nafl before magrib because of the words of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), 'between the two adhan one can perform any salah except Magrib.'(Tabrani has documented this hadith in Awsat) Khattabi said, 'two adhans mean the iqamah and adhan.' [Imdad al-Fattah Sharh Nur al-Idah, pg 187]
However this hadith is mentioned without the exception and restriction (qayd) too in Bukhari as follows:
It has been reported by Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, he said, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, 'Between the two adhan one can perform any salah'... 'between the two adhan one can perform any salah' then he said the third time...'for the one who wishes.'
It has been reported in Bukhari. [Imam Zafar Ahmad Usmani, I'la al-Sunan, pg 16 V.7]

Faraz Rabbani adds:
Imam Ibn Abidin quotes a number of classical authorities mentioning that praying supererogatory prayers before the Maghrib prayer was not from the practice of the Four Khalifas, nor the Ten Promised Paradise, nor the leading Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Thus, Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) and other Companions themselves understood that this was only a sunna for a limited time-period, until the command of performing Maghrib prayer without delay was legislated. After this, the previous recommended sunna of praying 2 rakats before Maghrib prayer was abrogated. [ Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar ]

Why the Hanafees don't pray 2 rakat before Maghrib?
Abdullah ibn Muqaffal (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Perform two Rakaats before Maghrib Salaat.' He mentioned this three times and the third time he said, 'whosoever wishes.' (the narrator said Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said this) fearing people make the two Rakaats Sunnah.' (Mishkaat pg.104; Qadeemi)
In view of the above, the majority of the Fuqahaa besides have ruled that it is Mustahabb (desirable) to perform two Rakaats before Maghrib Salaat. Please provide reasons and prooves of the Hanafees for not performing it.
Although the narration that you have cited is authentic, there are many authentic narrations to the contrary. The narration of Muslim clearly establishes that Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] himself never performed this Salaat. In the narration of Abu Dawud, ibn Umar [radhiallaahu anhu] mentions that he never saw anyone in the time of Nabi [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] performing this Salaat. There are also narrations proving that illustrious Sahaaba [radhiallaahu anhu] such as Abu Bakr and Umar did not perform this Salaat.
In the light of the above, together with the many narrations that prove that Maghrib Salaat should be hastened after sunset and should not be delayed (Makrooh to do so). This Salaat is Makrooh according to the Hanafi Madhab. However, if there is already a delay in Maghrib Salaat beyond one’s control, i.e. not intentionally delaying Maghrib, it is permissible to perform 2 Rakaats. (Kabeeri pg.386; Lahore).

Sayyidi wa sanadi Mufti Mohammad Taqi Usmani (Allah preserve him with ‘afiyet) said in discussion regarding the permissibility of praying two rakah prior to the fardh salah ofmaghrib,
The correct and just thing is that there is no proof (daleel) of two rakah prior to maghribbeing disliked (karahiyet). And there are many proofs of its permissibility.
However, it must be taken into account that at places where there is time interval prior to congregational salah (jamah), like in the blessed Haramain, then being stubborn that I am a Hanafi and whatever happens I am not going to pray is not the proper attitude. In these situation it should be offered.
One thing that has to be always avoided is: creating fitnah.
Praying these two rakah are permissible and wherever there is time available (betweenadhan and jama’h) they should be offered. However, it should not be offered at places where none has even heard about this issue. Initiating these prayer in this situation will create afitnah resulting in useless discussions.
However, mention the permissibility of this issue at an appropriate opportunity.
