[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "When the call to prayer is made, come to it while you are walking calmly, and upon you is tranquility. Whatever you have managed to catch, pray, and whatever you have missed, complete it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا نُودِيَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَأْتُوهَا وَأَنْتُمْ تَمْشُونَ وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّكِينَةُ فَمَا أَدْرَكْتُمْ فَصَلُّوا وَمَا سُبِقْتُمْ فَأَتِمُّوا  

[Machine] He informed him that he fought alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he mentioned the hadith in the story of the Prophet's ﷺ ablution and wiping on the two socks. He said, then he proceeded. Al-Mughira said, "So I followed him until people found that 'Abdul-Rahman ibn 'Awf had already led them in prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught up with one of the two raka'ats, so he prayed the second raka'ah with the people. When 'Abdul-Rahman ibn 'Awf finished his prayer and said the taslim, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to complete his prayer; this frightened the Muslims, so they increased in glorification (tasbih). When the Prophet ﷺ finished his prayer, he approached them and said, 'You did well or you have done right, they (the angels) envy you for praying the prayer at its proper time.'" Ibn Juraij said, Ibn Shihab narrated this from Ismail ibn Muhammad ibn Sa'd from Hamza ibn al-Mughira, in a similar narration to the hadith of 'Abbad. Al-Mughira said, "I intended to delay 'Abdul-Rahman ibn 'Awf." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Leave him."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي قِصَّةِ وُضُوءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَسْحِهِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ فَأَقْبَلْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى يَجِدَ النَّاسُ قَدْ قَدَّمُوا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ فَأَدْرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِحْدَى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّاسِ الرَّكْعَةَ الْآخِرَةَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُتِمُّ صَلَاتَهُ فَأَفْزَعَ ذَلِكَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَكْثَرُوا التَّسْبِيحَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلَاتَهُ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَحْسَنْتُمْ أَوْ قَدْ أَصَبْتُمْ يَغْبِطُهُمْ أَنْ صَلَّوَا الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ عَبَّادٍ قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ فَأَرَدْتُ تَأْخِيرَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ دَعْهُ  

[Machine] Prayer has three states, and he mentioned the state of facing the qiblah and the state of the call to prayer. These are two states. He said, "They used to come to prayer, and the Prophet had already preceded them in some prayers. So he would gesture to them how many he prayed with his fingers, one, two. Then Mu'adh came and the Prophet had already preceded him in some prayers. So he said, "I do not find him on the same state unless I am on it." Then he performed the prayer. When the Messenger of Allah finished, Mu'adh began to lead the prayer. The Messenger of Allah said, "Mu'adh has set an example for you, so do as he did." Shu'bah narrated it from 'Amr bin Murrah, from 'Abdul-Rahman. Our companions narrated to us, saying, "When the man came, he would mention its meaning." And that is the correct opinion, because 'Abdul-Rahman bin Abi Layla did not reach Mu'adh.  

أُحِيلَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْوَالٍ فَذَكَرَ حَالَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَحَالَ الْأَذَانِ فَهَذَانِ حَالِانِ قَالَ وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِبَعْضِ الصَّلَاةِ فَيُشِيرُ إِلَيْهِمْ كَمْ صَلَّى بِالْأَصَابِعِ وَاحِدَةً اثِنْتَيْنِ فَجَاءَ مُعَاذٌ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِبَعْضِ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ لَا أَجِدُهُ عَلَى حَالٍ إِلَّا كُنْتُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَضَيْتُ فَدَخَلَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ مُعَاذٌ يَقْضِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ سَنَّ لَكُمْ مُعَاذٌ فَهَكَذَا فَافْعَلُوا وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُنَا قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا جَاءَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ وَذَلِكَ أَصَحُّ لِأَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى لَمْ يُدْرِكْ مُعَاذًا  

[Machine] A man came while the Prophet ﷺ was praying and heard the sound of his footsteps. When he finished, he asked, "Who entered?" The man replied, "It was me, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet asked, "And how did you find us?" The man replied, "I found you in prostration, so I also prostrated." The Prophet said, "This is what you should do if you find me standing, bowing, prostrating, or sitting. Do as you find me, and do not initiate the prostration if you have not caught the rak'ah (unit of prayer)."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَسَمِعَ خَفْقَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ أَيُّكُمْ دَخَلَ؟ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَكَيْفَ وَجَدْتَنَا؟ قَالَ سُجُودًا فَسَجَدَتُ قَالَ هَكَذَا فَافْعَلُوا إِذَا وَجَدْتُمُوهُ قَائِمًا أَوْ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا أَوْ جَالِسًا فَافْعَلُوا كَمَا تَجِدُونَهُ وَلَا تَعْتَدُّوا بِالسَّجْدَةِ إِذَا لَمْ تُدْرِكُوا الرَّكْعَةَ  

[Machine] And Ibn Umar used to say: "If you miss the prayer unit (Raka'ah), then you have missed the prostration (Sujood)."  

وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ يَقُولُ إِذَا فَاتَتْكَ الرَّكْعَةُ فَقَدْ فَاتَتْكَ السَّجْدَةُ  

[Machine] "If you find the imam in a certain state, do as he does, as the meaning of this has been narrated as elevated from the hadith of Muadh bin Jabal."  

إِذَا وَجَدْتَ الْإِمَامَ عَلَى حَالٍ فَاصْنَعْ كَمَا يَصْنَعُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مَعْنَى هَذَا مَرْفُوعًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ  

[Machine] "And also, from Ibn al-Musayyib."  

وَعَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ أَيْضًا
